The book is an illustrated volume on the history of Islamic popular

with an emphasis on religious pluralism as part of the iconography.


Independent filmmaker and researcher Yousuf Saeed has been working on 
India's popular Islamic visual culture
since over a decade. He was also a Sarai Fellow in 2004 where he studied 
the syncretic elements of popular
Muslim poster art. This discussion focuses on a few important issues 
dealt with in Yousuf's latest book, concerning
the pluralism of popular Islam practiced in India.
