520 1 $a"Muslims in India today are responding to the challenge of religious pluralism in a variety of ways. This book explores the attempts being made by scholar activists and Muslim organizations to develop new understandings of Islam to relate to people of other faiths and to the modern nation-state, and to deal with issues such as democracy and secularism. It examines how a common predicament characterized by a sense of siege and the perception of being an oppressed minority is producing new expressions of Islam, some of which seek to relate to non-Muslims in terms of confrontation, and others which call for dialogue, reconciliation and inter-faith harmony."--Jacket.
