ABOUT THIS EPISODE
With 200 million Muslims, India has the third largest population of Muslims of any country on the planet. For nearly a millennium now, Muslims have been a part of India’s mainstream, contributing to its art, culture, politics and economy.
However, of late, many Muslims feel a sense of alienation – even of siege – as a new majoritarianism grips India.
In this new book, “Being Muslim in Hindu India”, veteran journalist and commentator, Ziya Us Salam details instances of Muslim marginalisation in India.
Scroll Ideas speaks to Salam, currently an Associate Editor with the Hindu in Delhi, to understand how things got to such a stage and what young Muslims should do to navigate the current circumstances.
