Bibliography. Index. The term empowerment has acquired a good deal of prominence and salience in the contemporary academic and political discourse in India. Empowerment generally refers to a process as well as a programme of action or intervention whereby a qualitative and sustained improvement in the lives of people is brought about. This short book focuses on the issue of the empowerment of Muslims in India in an integral holistic perspective. Proceeding from the premise that the issue of empowerment of any group or community in a given society should be addressed in the context of both the larger society and the community in question. The book brings out the bearing of the larger political social economic and cultural processes in contemporary Indian society on the marginalization and disempowerment of Muslims and other minority groups. The book argues that the ideal of empowerment needs to be juxtaposed with the reality of disempowerment in the context of specific groups and communities. It presents an extended discussion on the nature and extent of the disempowerment and marginalization of Indian Muslims as perceived and experienced by the community and as corroborated by researchers as well as official sources. This is followed by an analysis of the dynamics of disempowerment in terms of exogenous and endogenous sources. The book emphasizes the need for creating and sustaining an enabling environment for the empowerment of marginalized groups and communities. It also addresses the key question of the prerequisites of empowerment in the context of Indian Muslims. The concluding part of the book underscores the role of community mobilization as a potent instrument of empowerment. The book will be of interest to social scientists researchers policy makers NGOs and the educated public. 156 pp.…

South Asia home to nearly one sixth of the world's population is currently in the focus of considerable academic attention. The emergence of India as one of the fastest growing economies in the world has further sharpened the international focus on the region. South Asia is one of the most culturally diverse regions in the world and at the same time the site of a long standing process of cultural hybridization and symbiosis. The region has witnessed over the past several centuries as well as in recent years highly significant and complex processes of ethnicization identity construction and ethnic conflict. The present volume hopes to make a modest contribution to the study of South Asia in the context of its pervasive diversity and complexity and the interface between change and continuity. The papers in the volume by a galaxy of scholars like Bhikhu Parekh T.K. Oommen Aparna Rao Lionel Caplan Peter Kloos Yunas Samad K.S. Singh and Lee Schlesinger deal with a wide range of theoretical and empirical themes and issues in the context of South Asia including multicultural state pluralism shifting identities ethnic violence national identity tribal autonomy and the interface of religion and identity. 302 pp.…

Bibliography. Index. The pursuit of knowledge occupies a central place in the Islamic ethos. Prophet Muhammad declared that the acquisition of knowledge is an obligation on every Muslim. He said that wisdom is (like) the lost animal of a believer wherever he finds it catches hold of it. The Prophet exhorted his followers to carry the torch of knowledge and learning far and wide and warned against concealing or with holding it. Islam opened the portals of knowledge to all and sundry men and women rich and poor king and slave. It declared piety and learning as the sole criteria of nobility and honour. This refreshingly open dynamic and egalitarian approach to knowledge brought about far reaching and revolutionary consequences not only for the Muslim community but for human civilization as a whole. Under the banner of Islam the Arabs and other people who had been hitherto steeped in ignorance barbarism and superstitions emerged as torch bearers of science and civilization. The intellectual revolution ushered in under the aegis of Islamic Civilization played a key role in the making of Western Civilization and the modern world. This book seeks to recount this fascinating saga in its multi faceted dimensions. It brings out and highlights the seminal and path breaking contributions of Muslims to the promotion and dissemination of knowledge and learning in the Islamic disciplines in the natural sciences in medicine technology and engineering in the social sciences and humanities and in the applied arts. 274 pp.…
