Opis

This book is an attempt to study the trajectories and workings of othering within the framework of the Nation-State, specifically the Indian Nation-State. It is interesting to understand the positioning of the Indian Muslim as an other who has to prove his/her loyalty, unlike the dominant subject of the Indian Nation-State. A closer observation of situations and events, today, suggests a presence of more than a religious shade to this aspect of othering.
