Mohamed Taher: Muslims in India: Recent contributions to literature on religion, philosophy, history and social aspects. With foreword by Mrs. Rafat Durdana Jalaluddin. New Delhi, Anmol Publications, 1993.About the Book: Muslims in India are all not invaders, and imported people. Most of the contemporary Muslims in India, like the Indian Christians, Indian Jews, and Indian Parsees, are of Indian blood. Hardly a few Arabs, Persians, Turks came to India. It were the Indians who accepted Islam by seeing, experiencing and observing it from the Muslims who came to India as traders, rulers, travellers, and sufis. Muslims in India are no doubt a part of India: culturally, socially and politically. The contributions of these Indian Muslims are vast, thus cannot be ignored. The present book is an attempt to compile a list of books published in India and abroad by and about these people.
In this age of publish or perish, a vast amount of literature is emerging in various fields of research and development. To identify such literature relevant to an study specialist is the single purpose of this book. It attempts to cover all publications between 1970 and 1989, and on all aspects of Muslim life in India. It is proposed to compile another retrospective bibliography on the subject. The information contained in the present book has been collected from local, national and international sources, using printed, computerized, human and other documentary sources. The book is a must for study and research by social scientists, humanists, orientalists, Indologists, and Islamists.
