In recent years, religious majoritarian politics has thrust a monolithic identity on India’s roughly 200 million Muslims, even though they are a hugely diverse group, differentiated by region, language, class, education and religiosity. Using her own experience as a starting point, a journalist offers a riveting but disturbing account of how Indian Muslims from different backgrounds are coping with the discriminatory policies, the social prejudice, and sometimes, the physical violence that this politics has engendered.
