Modernization of Muslim Youth
Description:... The Theme Of The Book Relates To The Very Critical Issue Of Modern India That Is The Modernization Of The Muslim Youth From A Minority Perspective. Muslims Constitute A Dominant Minority In India. Hence Their Modernization Assumes Crucial Significance For The Development, Prosperity And Unity Of Indian Nation. The Problem Has Been Posed Against A Wider Context Of The Interface Between Islam And Modernization Both From Global And Indian Perspective.It Has Been Analysed Against The Imperical Data Utilising Highly Sophisticated Statistical Technique. The Book Analyses Not Only The Six Dimensions Of Modernization, Namely. Secular Orientations, Scientific Orientation, Universalistic Orientation, Independent Orientation, Achievement Orientation And Civic Orientation But Also Attempts To Explain The Same In The Light Of Social Background And Politicization Of The Muslim Youth. The Relative And Combined Contribution Of All The Variables Involved Has Been Analysed And Interpreted. The Study Defuncts The Theory That Politicization Leads To Modernization. It Exposes The Fact That Muslim Youth Is Moderately Modernised And Offers Pointers Which Are Needed For Solving The Problems Created By Increasing Religious Fundamentalism Both Among The Majority And The Minority. It Supports The Hypothesis That Hindus And Muslims Are Two Eyes Of Mother India And They Have To Focus Evenly Together To Enable Her To March Steadily On The Path Of Peace, Progress And Prosperity.
