In this episode of NL Recess, Mehraj D Lone hosts journalist and author Ghazala Wahab to discuss her recently released book
Born a Muslim: Some Truths About Islam in India, an autobiographical narrative of her journey through her faith.
Ghazala grew up privileged and received a university education but that, she says, didn't spare her from the constant fear of violence and prejudice that Muslims live with in India. In this context, she mentions a Hindu mob attack in her neighbourhood which significantly shaped how she viewed the state of her community.
