Description

This volume examines media representations of Indian Muslims in the wake of global Islamic radicalism and its repercussions-9/11, the 2005 terrorist attack on the London underground, the 2006 Mumbai train bombings, and the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. It draws from the understanding that Muslims form an intrinsic part of the democratic civil society in India yet continue to carry the baggage of history, especially Partition. The book looks at both facets of the issue-the reach of jihadi pan-Islamism in the popular Indian Muslim consciousness and how the community copes with media distortions of a nuanced issue; as well as the politics of representation and the subsequent stereotyping of Muslims. The essays are extremely topical in the context of the ongoing debates on the media's accountability and its commercialization, as well as the status of ordinary Muslims in relation to international Islamic terrorism.
