What Indian Muslim intellectuals need to understand?

Atir Khan A recently published article on a news website argued that the Indian Muslim community lacks intellectuals. Its central observation was that the community has failed to cultivate an intellectual class of its own and remains dependent, at least in part, on Hindu or left-liberal intellectuals to articulate its concerns on national platforms. The argument deserves serious consideration. A community of nearly 20 crore people, wit...

Parwaaz is a tribute to Muslim women leaders of India

Atir Khan The role of Indian Muslim women in nation-building is an integral aspect of our history, one that has often been overlooked. Their contributions to the growth and progress of the nation deserve recognition and celebration, as they continue to shape India's diverse socio-political fabric.

The roots of Hindu-Muslim polarisation

Atir Khan The story of Hindu–Muslim polarisation in modern India cannot be understood without revisiting the Khilafat Movement of the early twentieth century. More than a protest against British policy, it marked the first large-scale mobilisation of Muslim religious identity in mass politics. Its consequences reshaped political consciousness in ways that continued to reverberate long after the movement itself collapsed. For cent...

India's Inclusive tradition and Islam

Atir Khan This topic is so vast that even a lifetime of scholarship would hardly be enough to fully understand and appreciate its full scope, depth, and richness. Let us begin with Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal Emperor, who was exiled to Rangoon. He wrote the famous couplet: Kitna hai badnaseeb Zafar Dafan ke liye Do gaz zameen bhi na miliku-e-yaar mein… For any Muslim, the choice of a final resting place is deeply emoti...

Delhi blast: The silent rise of Islamic radicalisation threatens India

Atir Khan Islamic radicalisation in India is spreading quietly — like fog drifting through the night — unseen until it blurs the line between faith and fanaticism. That creeping haze turned deadly when Delhi's calm was shattered by a car blast near the Red Fort, on the evening of October 10. The explosion — chillingly reminiscent of the terror-scarred 1990s — killed ten people and injured dozens, ending year...

Ram Madhav’s book delves into India’s positioning amid global disruptions

Atir Khan We live in the best of times and the worst of times. The world today is a paradox: outwardly satisfying, yet deeply unstable beneath the surface.

This question haunts us as we watch missiles streak across skies, destroying homes...
