Since the arrival of Islam in India within a hundred years of its inception, Hindus and Muslims coexisted for centuries. But both suffered devastating hardships during the partition of the country, that took decades to heal. With this historical background, the film paints a wide canvas of the invaluable contribution Muslims have made in nation building post independence. Leaders like Maulana Azad, Rafi Ahmed Kidwai and Zakir Hussain strived to give a secular, democratic dimension to the polity. Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia are providing world class education in society. Traditional Islamic institutions like Darul Uloom are integrating modern educational techniques while maintaining the classical methodology. India has seen invaluable contribution of eminent Muslim personalities in science, armed forces, administrative services, business, film industry, literature, fine and performing arts.
