THE MUSLIM SECULAR
Description
Shows that Abul Kalam Azad, Sheikh Abdullah, and Abdul Ghaffar Khan return parity to its richer, two-pronged definition of commonality and difference between Hindus and Muslims to challenge both exclusionary Pakistani nationalism and the threat of Hindu majoritarianism Demonstrates that Muslim political thought in India could embrace the loss of older forms of monarchical and communitarian power to channel a politics of democratic sovereignty Pluralises how global intellectual history understands the modern problem of minority in the age of partitions and identitarian sovereignty Offers a rare treatment of Sheikh Abdullah and Abdul Ghaffar Khan as political thinkers with ambitions beyond Kashmir and the North-West Frontier Argues that by anchoring Islam in their Muslim-majority regions, these nationalists settled the minority question and counterintuitively appropriated a secular nationality for all Indians
