BORN A MUSLIM: Some Truths About Islam in India by GHAZALA WAHAB [Hardcover]

Born a Muslim: Some Truths about Islam in India is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities and challenges faced by Muslims in India. The book examines whether Indian Muslims are a monolithic community or a diverse group deeply integrated into the cultural fabric of India. The author delves into the socio-economic and intellectual stagnation of the Muslim community, attributing it to both internal factors (such as over-reliance on religious leaders) and external ones (like discrimination and government neglect). Combining memoir, history, reportage, and interviews, the book provides a nuanced, empathetic perspective on what it means to live as a Muslim in India, while also offering solutions for improving their situation.
