Muslims in India were all not invaders, and imported people. Most of the contemporary Muslims in India, like the Indian Christians, Indian Jews and Indian Parsees, are of Indian blood. Hardly a few Arabs, Persians, Turks came to India. It were Indians who accepted Islam by seeing, experiencing and observing it from the Muslims who came to India as traders, rulers, travelers, and Sufis. Muslims in India are no doubt a part of India: culturally, socially and politically. The contributions of these Indian Muslims are vast, thus cannot be ignored. The present book is an attempt to compile a list of books published in India and abroad by and about these people. In this age of publish or perish, a vast amount of literature is emerging in various fields of research and development. To identify such literature relevant to an area study specialist is the single purpose of this book. It attempts to cover all publications between 1970 and 1989, and on all aspects of Muslim life in India. It is proposed to compile another retrospective bibliography on the subject. The information contained in the present book has been collected from local, national and international sources. The book is a must for study and research by social scientists, humanists, orient lists, Ideologists and Isalamicists.

Islam is not merely an ideology or philosophy. It is a practical religion, which has a code of conduct for all areas and spheres in life. Obviously, it has a perfect system of governance. The scriptures have institutionalised all the important things, including polity and governance. This study discusses the system of governance under Islam in all details. By virtue of its merits, this book has emerged as an authentic source of knowledge and information on Islam.

The organization and content of this book, is distinctive in two ways, First, it connects the past to the present. Second distinctive feature is that it is a complete History. It deals with the entire history rather than with some one part or region. It is concerned with all peoples, all origin, all over the world. History is essential for the understanding of a world that has become "one in reality as well as in rhetoric." We begin with the origins of human culture, when man was still confined to limited locates by uncomplicated technologies of hunting and fishing, hand agriculture or nomadic herding. The need for world understanding is not the only reason for turning to world history. Equally important is the fact that the story of humankind from its very beginnings has a basic unity that must be recognized and respected. If we accept the fact that all peoples share a common world history, how can we possibly learn about the whole world by reading a single book? So that an attempt has been made to divide into ten parts such as, Africa, China, Europe, India & Pakistan, Islamic World, Japan, Latin America, North America, Soviet Russia, Southeast Asia for the convenience of its readers. This will provide both a preview and a summary of the world as a whole.
