Title : Sardar Patel and Indian MuslimsThis book is a well-researched and well-written book based on the Sardar Patel Memorial Lectures by Dr. Rafiq Zakaria. He authentically demolishes the myth built up by vested interests that the Sardar was anti-Muslim. The book deals with the charge against Sardar Patel of being anti-Muslim. Before the partition, Patel was, in fact, one of the first lieutenants of Gandhiji to propogate and carry forward the mission of Hindu-Muslim unity. Patel gave unreserved support to the Khilafat movement, brought Hindus and Muslims together during the Bardoli and Salt Satyagraha, and gave a blank cheque to minorities as President at the Karachi session of the Congress in 1931. Dr. Zakaria surveys the political scene of those turbulent years with depth and insight. He srutinises every word and deed of the Sardar and draws conclusions which should set at rest this controversy.
