Description

The Indian subcontinent was once known as Hindustan, a multicultural region with a cohesive political identity. Manan Ahmed Asif explores the abandonment of this pluralism under European influence, such that a place once understood as the home of all faiths is now considered—locally and abroad—the land of the Hindus.
