Listen "148. Born a Muslim"
Episode Synopsis
Who are the Indian Muslims? Are they a monolithic community practising a faith alien to India? Or are they a diverse people, geographically rooted in the cultural ethos of the land? Is there an 'Indian Islam'? In this episode of BIC Talks, author Ghazala Wahab in a conversation with historian Rajmohan Gandhi takes a clear-eyed look at every aspect of Islam in India today. Weaving together personal memoir, history, reportage, scholarship, and interviews with a wide variety of people, Ghazala's book Born a Muslim highlights how an apathetic and sometimes hostile government attitude and prejudice at all levels of society have contributed to Muslim vulnerability and insecurity. This conversation is an extract from a BIC Streams event.
