Hilal Ahmed

Hilal Ahmed's book is a foremost social scientist's take on the struggles and triumphs of Muslims in everyday life - their political participation, their survival strategies, their dialogue with modernity and liberalism.

Muslim participation in politics is a multifaceted phenomenon and should always be examined in its entirety.

For a comprehensive understanding of the term 'Muslim politics', we must differentiate between Muslim leaders and the Muslim masses.

The viral video of a teacher asking a group of students in her class to slap a Muslim boyis certainly disturbing. It is a serious reflection of our public culture, where slapping, abusing, and even lynching Muslims is normal and acceptable.

This diversity of Muslim opinion, in a way, highlights a conscious and peaceful struggle for securing a meaningful existence in contemporary India.

The long term impact of the new parliament building on Indian politics, especially in relation to the idea of people's representation, however, has not been given any serious attention.

One person has been arrested in connection with an alleged molestation case of a girl in Jammu and Kashmir's Handwara, an incident that triggered a cycle of violence for past one week in North Kashmir.

Ramzan, the holy month of fasting for Muslims, will begin from Monday as the new moon could not be sighted anywhere in the country on Saturday Night.
