Synopsis
Twelve narratives offer portraits of Muslims in India today, recounting their stories, predicaments, aspirations, and the highs and lows of their lives. Intimately told and stripped of jargon, yet nuanced and incisive, these essays portray individuals from many walks of life—men and women, young and old, from various regions of India.

Review
"While there exists a rich corpus of historical, demographic, philosophical, political, and even activist writing on Muslims in India, there is not much available that allows us to meet and learn who these people are, where they live, what their opinions are.... In a climate of widespread stereotypes and prejudice this book offers a chance to read about ordinary and real lives." —from the introduction
