Abstract

The book under review, ‘India`s Muslim Spring’, by Hasan Suroor, focuses on the possibility of an uprising of Muslims in India and the role of Muslim youth in that country. The book is divided into eighteen chapters. The main argument of the book is that the majority of Muslim youth is secular and has a positive attitude. It has not exhibited any extremism or indulged in any kind of terrorism. Being educated it does not believe in fundamentalism and its main issue has been jobs, housing and security. The Muslims of India are as patriotic as other communities. Their role has remained very constructive and they have not reacted to anti-Muslim sentiments prevailing among the various Hindu extremist groups and political parties. The discrimination against the Muslims by extremist Hindu groups do contribute to aggravating their religious sentiments.
