| Summary, etc | For most of the seventy-one years of his life, Asghar Ali Engineer has been a tireless soldier to the cause of national integration and communal harmony. Well-known today as a reformist, an activist and Islamic scholar, Asghar Ali Engineer received the Right Livelihood, or the Alternative Nobel , award in 2004 . . . for promoting over many years in South Asia the values of religious and communal co-existence, tolerance and mutual understanding .<br/><br/>Written with the simplicity that perhaps describes the man himself, is an extensive autobiographical account of Asghar Ali Engineer s commitment to building an inclusive society and his inter-pretation of Islam as a modernist. It chronicles the personal, social and political events that shaped his life and views, his struggle against the orthodox Bohra priesthood and his rise as a leader of social and religious reform. It also documents his interactions with religious and political leaders of various hues across the world in the attempt to create a society that embraces all faiths.<br/><br/>Through the reminiscences of a life that has been lived for truth, depicts a journey from violence to peace, from prejudice to acceptance, from politics of power and religion to the power of humanity one that continues unheeded, against all odds. |
