Thus far, we have heard the voices of those who, in condemning Modi, claim
to speak on behalf of Gujarati Muslims. The value of Kishwar’s narrative is
that she has let Muslims speak for themselves by quoting extensively from
her video-recorded interviews with both rural and urban Muslims.
An honest understanding of this phase of contemporary history is vital for
the health of democracy and amicable inter-community relations in India.
-Salim Khan, Script writer & columnist
The manner in which the author has gone about talking to officials and people
in detail, about the functioning of the Gujarat government under Modi; her
visits to various parts of Gujarat to know about the conditions prevailing in
the state; her unbiased and masterly analyses of the material she gathered
through her tireless work, makes this book almost a thesis.
But unlike an academic thesis, the book makes absorbing reading; apart
from being an irrefutable answer to the prejudiced critics of Modi, it is a
page-turner too. -Cho Ramaswamy, Editor, Thuglak
