ABOUT THE BOOK

Take Ghalib and his myriad followers out of the equation. Will Hindustan be
left with a gaping hole or become something quite new? The Muslim Vanishes,
a play by Saeed Naqvi, attempts to answer that question.

Caste, the Hindu-Muslim divide, Pakistan-Kashmir-decibel levels on these
subjects are too high, with each side fiercely defending their own narratives
for a conversation to take place. What is the way out of this trap? Razor-sharp,
gentle and funny, Saeed Naqvi falls back on a combination of grandma's
bedside stories, Aesop's fables and Mullah Nasruddin's feigned foibles to
spring an inspired surprise on us. Can it douse the flames?
