It also provides new information on India's Muslims before and after independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this brilliant book Prof Hasan looks at the origins of Muslim separatism under the British, at the making of partition, and the meanings of these for a host of Muslim communities, families and individuals. His book examines the establishment of the 'Nehruvian consensus' - with its secular vision for India's future - in the 1940s and 1950s, and delineates secular identities as well as the Muslim organizations which run counter to this process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProf Hasan illustrates the role of Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Milia Islamia as bearer of the 'beacon lights' of modern and secular understandings of the Muslim future in India. He than examines the break-up of the Nehruvian consensus from the 1960s through the present, focusing in particular on the reasons for the growth of communal activity and the retreat of both Hindus and Muslims into communal political camps. Finally the book surveys the state of India's Muslims in the period after the demolition of Babri Masjid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface and Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eTables\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTERS\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eThe Myth of Muslim Unity: Colonial and National Narratives\u003cbr\u003eMaking a Separate Nation\u003cbr\u003eIndia Partitioned: The other Face of Freedom\u003cbr\u003eSecularism: The Post-colonial Predicament \u003cbr\u003eForging Secular Identities\u003cbr\u003eRedefining Boundaries: Modernist Interpretations and the New 'Intellectual Structure'\u003cbr\u003eEmpowering Differences: political actions, sectarian Violence and the Retreat of secularism\u003cbr\u003eAyodhya and its Consequences: Reappraising Minority Identity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPPENDIXES\u003cbr\u003eDistribution of Muslim Population in India\u003cbr\u003eThe Divine Law\u003cbr\u003eResolution of the All-India Jamiyat-Ulama-i Islam Conference, Calcutta,31 October 1945\u003cbr\u003eWhat Does Secularism Means?\u003cbr\u003eMyths Relating to Minorities in India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelect Bibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Mushirul Hasan \/ Oxford University Press \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153731678576,"sku":"8349","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/8349.jpg?v=1793913296","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/legacy-of-a-divided-nation-indias-muslim-since-independence","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
