In this book, I sensed a vision for the future of the Muslims in India that Mushirul Hasan must have dreamt of. He wanted Muslims to be a securer of justice not only for Muslims but also for the non-Muslims of the world. This is a message for global peace and communal harmony.
If someone decides what I should believe, what I should eat, and what I should wear, then what's the point of saying we're independent people?
In cities across India, Muslims face systemic barriers when attempting to rent or buy residential space, not limited to private landlords; it permeates housing societies and real estate markets, often justified under the guise of maintaining social harmony. However, this so-called harmony is nothing more than a façade for prejudice.
Vilification and alienation of Indian Muslims have become an everyday job of un/paid far-right Hindutva nationalists, better say, chauvinists.
Pluralism is Islam's hallmark. This film foregrounds this aspect through art, architecture, trade, craft, music, song, poetry, philosophy.
