between them.

Nationalism and Communnal Politics in India, 1885-1930 analyses how various segments among Muslims related to the defined their relationship with nationalist forces, spearheaded by the Indian National Congress. It offers a reappraisal of some important themes that are described in historical literature as ‘Communal’ or ‘Separatist’.

A Nationalist Conscience: M.A. Ansari, the Congress and the Raj focuses on the political career of Mukhtar Ahmad Ansari. It examines, with rich empirical data, political developments from 1912 to 1936, offers a reappraisal of the nature and character of the pan-Islamic movement in India, and reviews some of the existing notions on what is usually described as the communal question.

This omnibus is indispensable for those interested in Islam, Indian history, culture and
politics.
