Muslim Belonging in Secular India surveys the experience of some of
India's most prominent Muslim communities in the early postcolonial
period. Muslims who remained in India after the Partition of 1947
faced distrust and discrimination, and were consequently compelled
to seek new ways of defining their relationship with fellow
citizens of India and its governments. Using the forcible
integration of the princely state of Hyderabad in 1948 as a case
study, Taylor C. Sherman reveals the fragile and contested nature
of Muslim belonging in the decade that followed independence. In
this context, she demonstrates how Muslim claims to citizenship in
Hyderabad contributed to intense debates over the nature of
democracy and secularism in independent India. Drawing on detailed
new archival research, Dr Sherman provides a thorough and
compelling examination of the early governmental policies and
popular strategies that have helped to shape the history of Muslims
in India since 1947.
