The book delves into the diverse responses of Muslims in India to the challenges posed by religious pluralism. It highlights the efforts of scholar-activists and organizations to reinterpret Islam in a way that engages with other faiths and the modern nation-state, addressing themes like democracy and secularism. The narrative reveals a shared sense of being an oppressed minority, leading to varied expressions of Islam—some advocating for confrontation, while others emphasize dialogue and inter-faith harmony.
