Nazia Erum

Veer Arjun Singh
She sits comfortably in a tall and plush red sofa chair, facing away from a collection of books and novels neatly stacked on a wooden rack at her 19th floor apartment in Noida near Delhi. In between reading out excerpts from a book she has recently written, she speaks in carefully chosen words and a self-assured tone as she explains why Mothering a Muslim — the title of her book — is more significant in India today than it was ever before. The conversation is only interrupted by her two-year-old daughter, who otherwise keeps herself busy on her mother’s phone.
