Overview
This study questions current views that Muslims represented a secure point of reference for the British understanding of colonial Indian society.

Arguing that this belief stemmed from conflicts inherent to the secular ideology of the colonial state, it shows how in the ensuing years it produced representations ridden with paradox and requiring a form of descriptive segregation.
