Why Ghettoization Happens

This is an interesting and timely book on the Muslim dominated area of Jamia Nagar that has mushroomed around the Jamia Millia Islamia University campus. The author Tabassum Ruhi Khan has been closely associated with the Jamia University as a student of the University’s well-known Mass Communications Research Centre (MCRC). The book itself draws from her experience as a student and subsequent ethnographic field-work. The Jamia Nagar area is one of the more prominent instances of the larger process of ghettoization of India’s Muslims.
