About the Book

Salman Khurshid tackles every topic with
candour, sensitivity and forthrightness.
A comprehensive, definitive and forceful account – by a witness to recent history in the making –
which highlights the fact that Muslims do feel at home in India and also provides rare insights into
their thought processes, their aspirations and their problems
As a former Union minister who has held several crucial portfolios, Salman Khurshid, on the basis of his
vast and varied experience, recounts how Muslims in India accept this country as their own despite many
provocations and allegations doubting their patriotism. In the process, he reinforces his contentions by
providing numerous real-life examples of how the community has proved its commitment and capability
by making immense contributions in almost all fields.
This timely volume, which covers a wide span from the late nineteenth century to the present, brings out
succinctly the pivotal roles played by a galaxy of distinguished Indian Muslims. The author describes
how the Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh and the Jamia Millia Islamia (Delhi) came into being
and how many of their alumni became part of the freedom movement and made sincere efforts at
fostering and maintaining communal harmony. Post-Independence, Salman Khurshid emphasizes the
importance of outstanding Muslim leaders who served as role models for the younger generation.
The author does not shy away from hypersensitive issues such as terrorism, communal riots, a Uniform
Civil Code, present-day Muslim leadership (or lack of) and the place of women in Islam, with a focus on
the Shah Bano case. He underscores the significance of the ‘trust deficit’ on the part of Muslims vis-à-vis
the police (based on a recent report of the directors-general of police from different states) and spotlights
the July 2014 verdict of the Supreme Court with regard to the Shariat and fatwas. He rounds off the book
with an analysis of what the future could hold after the recent victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party and its
allies in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
Salman Khurshid tackles each and every topic with candour, sensitivity and forthrightness.
