Flyer for Between Nation and ’Community’: Muslim Universities and Indian Politics after Partition

Laurence Gautier, Researcher at Centre de Sciences Humaines, Delhi, discusses her new book, "Between Nation and 'Community': Muslim Universities and Indian Politics after Partition."

The book proposes a political history of Muslim universities in post-independence India, from 1947 to the 1990s. Based on a wide range of sources in English and in Urdu, it highlights the central role that these educational institutions played in the debates on national integration, secularism, minority rights and Muslim backwardness.
