"This book is about a devastating tragedy that befell the Muslims in post-’47 India. In the pages that follow one gets acquainted with a revolutionary Ummah which, in its ideological wilderness, shuns its idealism and is eventually swallowed up by a seemingly neutral ideology of secularism. This conversion of Muslim Indians, from Islam to secularism, though in itself a clear case of apostasy, has otherwise gone unnoticed."
