Watan mein paraya वतन में पराया : Hindustan ka Musalmaan (Hindi)

Watan mein paraya वतन में पराया : Hindustan ka Musalmaan is the Hindi translation of “Being the Other: The Muslim in India” by Saeed Naqvi. A remarkable book, which is partly a memoir and partly an exploration of the various deliberate and inadvertent acts that have contributed to the “othering” of the 180 million Muslims in India, Saeed Naqvi looks at how the divisions between Muslims and Hindus began in the modern era. The British were the first to exploit these divisions between the communities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In the run-up to Independence, and its immediate aftermath, some of India’s greatest leaders including Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Vallabhbhai Patel, and others only served to drive the communities further apart. प्रस्तुत पुस्तक उनकी 2016 में प्रकाशित होने वाली अंग्रेज़ी पुस्तक Being the Other: The Muslim in India का अनुवाद है, जो संसार भर में प्रसिद्ध हुई। यह उनकी आत्मकथा भी है और उनके दौर की अतिमहत्वपूर्ण घटनाओं और राजनैतिक उथल-पुथल का इतिहास भी।
