To Be a Muslim In New India
In today's India, to be a Muslim is to carry not just a faith - but a burden of constant scrutiny, suspicion, and survival. To Be a Muslim in New India is a deeply personal yet unflinching political memoir that weaves the author's lived experiences with a broader chronicle of India's democratic unraveling. From lost friendships and everyday microaggressions to the violence of laws, lynchings, and silenced prayers, the book bears witness to a nation where majoritarianism has crept from the margins to the mainstream.
Each chapter lays bare the quiet betrayals and public humiliations that define Muslim life under the shadow of Hindutva - from targeted hate crimes and erasures in textbooks to discriminatory policies like the CAA-NRC and the 2025 Waqf Amendment. But this is not just a catalogue of injustices. It is also a record of resistance: of those who still vote, still believe, still speak. Urgent, reflective, and unapologetically honest, this book asks the question the headlines rarely do: Can India still belong equally to all its citizens? A timely and necessary read - not just for Muslims, but for anyone who still believes in the promise of the Indian republic.
