Muslim Political Discourse in Postcolonial India

Monuments, Memory, Contestation

By Hilal Ahmed

The book explores postcolonial Muslim political discourse in India by approaching monuments as sites of political contestation. Hilal Ahmed examines the processes by which historical buildings become monuments and sites for political mobilisation. He also examines the construction of a royal Muslim past as a method of political mobilisation. The book critically assesses the question of homogeneity of Muslim responses to political articulations. The book is helpful for those interested in Indian polity, modern Indian history, sociology, and those interested in contemporary India.
