"It is a comprehensive, definitive and forceful account - by a witness to recent history in the making- which highlights fact that Muslims do feel at home in India and also provides rare insights into their thought processes, their aspirations and their problems," publishers said in a statement.
The upcoming book is being published by Hay House with distribution and marketing by Penguin Books.
The book covers a wide span from late nineteenth century to the present and brings out the pivotal roles played by a galaxy of distinguished Indian Muslims.
"The author does not shy away from hypersensitive issues such as terrorism, communal riots, a Uniform Civil Code, present-day Muslim leadership (or lack of) and the place of women in Islam, with a focus on the Shah Bano case," the publishers said.
