Award-Winning Book “Born a Muslim” Exposes Deepening Discrimination in India
\n………………….<\/p>\n
Amid rising nationalism and increasing marginalization of Muslims in India, journalist and author Ghazala Wahab has stirred national debate with her powerful book Born a Muslim. The work, which recently won the prestigious Tata Literature Live Award, offers a searing examination of the systemic discrimination faced by over 200 million Muslims in the country.<\/p>\n
Combining personal narrative with political analysis, historical research, and firsthand accounts, Wahab details how India\u2019s Muslim community is increasingly treated as second-class citizens. The book highlights issues ranging from job and housing discrimination to inflammatory media narratives, biased legislation, and unchecked mob violence.<\/p>\n
Far from a lament, Born a Muslim serves as a compelling defense of equal citizenship and a reminder of the Muslim community\u2019s integral role in India’s past and present. Critics have hailed it as a courageous and necessary wake-up call for Indian democracy, urging collective reflection before the nation slides further into institutionalized intolerance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
