Synopsis The contemporary Indian Muslims represent a culturally and ethnically diversified group of breeding isolates bound together only by common belief in Islam. Boundaries are maintained between various Muslim groups which result into presence of about 436 bio-cultural entities, each differing from the other with their individual specificities. The ethnographic profiles of these breeding isolates have been depicted in the book. The book attempts to demolish the concept of Muslim-ness and Islam being uniting forces binding the bio-culturally divergent groups under one banner.
