[Reader-list] Indian Muslims Are In. Are You?

[Shivam Vij]

They say that if you don't speak for yourself, others will speak for
you. They say that the mullahs have hijacked Islam, that the 'silent
majority' amongst Muslims will have to take a stand, that Imam Bukhari
should not be allowed to speak for all Muslims.

An engineer from IIT Madras, a Lucknowite studying managment in Oregon
and an engineer-turned-journalist from Bhopal are amongst the people
who write an immensely popular, thought-provoking blog called "Indian
Muslims"with the catchy tagline "IM IN. ARE YOU?" at
www.indianmuslims.in. There write on a very regular basis on issues
related to Indian Muslims - be it Gujarat or the BJP's objections to
communalism, the Imrana case or Uniform Civil Code.

See, for instance, their dummy's guide to Islam in India:
http://indianmuslims.in/introduction-to-islam-in-contemporary-india

Excerpt: "A popular truism is that for everything valid about India,
the converse is also valid. With all their complexities and sectarian
differences, the same can be said for Indian Muslims."

Read, comment at and link to IM, if you are IN.
