The Khans have very pretty much taken about Bollywood. Aamir, Salman, Shah Rukh, Aamer, Saif Ali and Irfan – to title but a few – at present dominate the field. Virtually all are Muslim or of Muslim descent, vastly effective and in a position to navigate two of the most highly effective forces operating from them – the puritanism of Islam and the at any time-rising grip of Hindu fundamentalism in India.

And numerous of them are married to Hindus. Outstanding actors, writers, administrators, producers, composers, movie historians, politicians and critics explain how the Khans have managed to correctly carve out their occupations as Muslims in a Hindu environment, about how they see the long run unfolding under the growing Hindu fundamentalist culture of India, as effectively as from the national and global backdrop of Islamic fundamentalism.
