Ziya Us Salam is a veteran journalist and author, currently working as an Associate Editor at the national daily, The Hindu.
His latest book, Being Muslim in Hindu India, is a documentation of the increasingly ubiquitous marginalisation and prejudice that the Indian Muslim community is facing in India’s contemporary socio-political scenario. His work enumerates the range of active ‘otherisation’, from daily stigmatisation to an alarming increase in episodes of explicit violence.
