But You Don't Look Like a Muslim
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Politics & Social Sciences

What does it mean to be Muslim in India?What does it mean to look like one&apos;s religion?Does one&apos;s faith determine how one is perceived?Is there a secular ideal one is supposed to live up to?Can people of different faiths have a shared culture, a shared identity?India has, since time immemorial, been plural, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-lingual, where various streams have fed into and strengthened each other, and where dissimilarities have always been a cause for rejoicing rather than strife. These writings, on and about being Muslim in India, by Rakhshanda Jalil - one of the country&apos;s foremost literary historians and cultural commentators - excavate memories, interrogate dilemmas, and rediscover and celebrate a nation and its syncretic culture. But You Don&apos;t Look Like a Muslim is a book that every thinking Indian must read.
