Weaving together vivid biographical portraits of a wide range of Indian Muslims--elite and subaltern, secular and clerical, activist and apolitical--it brings the experience of the country's Muslims under a single focus; and, by throwing light on the Indian Muslim condition during the first thirty years of independence, reflects on the true character of democratic India. What we have here is a rather different picture from received accounts of the 'world's largest democracy'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChallenging traditional histories of Nehru's India, Pratinav Anil shows that minority rights were neglected right from independence. Despite its best intentions, the Congress regime that ruled for three decades was often illiberal, intolerant and undemocratic. Muslims had to contend with discrimination, disadvantage, deindustrialization, dispossession and disenfranchisement, as well as an unresponsive leadership. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnil demonstrates how the Muslim elite encouraged depoliticization, taking up seemingly noble but largely inconsequential causes with little bearing on the lives of ordinary members of the community. There was no room for mass protests or collective solidarity in this version of Muslim politics. \u003cem\u003eAnother India\u003c\/em\u003e explores this elite betrayal, whose consequences are still felt by India's 200 million Muslims today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pratinav Anil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197694691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197694695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.90w x 1.57d","brand":"Pratinav Anil","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44131917562111,"sku":"9780197694695","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_260b7327-f7a6-4564-a246-848ad0263414.jpg?v=1687477160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/another-india-pratinav-anil-9780197694695","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
