The Indian Musalmans by W.W. Hunter is a classic and influential work first published in the nineteenth century. In this book, Hunter explores the condition of Muslims in India during British rule and addresses questions about their loyalty, social position, and cultural identity at a time of great political change.
Written with the perspective of a colonial administrator, the book provides valuable historical insights into the challenges faced by Indian Muslims in education, governance, and society. Although rooted in its own era, it remains an important reference for understanding the relationship between the Muslim community and the British Raj.
For students of history, political science, and South Asian studies, The Indian Musalmans is a significant text that sheds light on the debates and policies that shaped modern India.
