This is a collection of essay on various issues concerning communalism and challenges to secular India. The problems have been viewed here from a minority perspective, especially of the Muslims.

It is hoped that these essays will create proper consciousness among the readers and help us realize our constitutional ideas. Our politicians are obsessed with power, not with the people's problems. In democracy only the peoples can force them to give attention to their burning problems and this can happen when the people become conscious of the games the political leaders play. We have been engaged in this struggle for the last several decades and it is an ongoing battle which will have to be carried out by both spoken and written words.
