From Abebooks: "This book was written by a Hindu, the grandson of Mohandas K. Gandhi. His intent, in writing on eight Muslims and their influence on India in the twentieth century, is to reduce the gulf between Hindu and Muslims. Focusing on figures viewed as heroes by subcontinent Muslims, he shows that they can be admired by Hindus as well-that they need not be frozen in Hindu minds as foes. Here is a fascinating account of twentieth century India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh told through biographical sketches of eight men: Sayyid Ahmen Khan, Fazlul Huq, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Muhamman Iqbal, Muhammad Ali, Abul Kalam Azad, Liaqat Ali Khan, and Zakir Husain."
