Abdul Ghafoor Noorani
Tehelka Magazine had the following introductory remark about him:
AG NOORANI Lawyer Don’t argue with him, he knows all the arguments. And don’t dabble with him on constitutional history, he knows It all. A constitutional expert, he can give you a run for your money for details which even the finest historian might miss. And he is absolutely impeccable, he won’t write for you, barring for The Statesman for which he wrote for decades, and lately for Hindustan Times. A rare gem, among the judiciary, an intellectual who fights nonstop. Of course he has liberal leanings. Perhaps because of that he has managed to say few things in the context of Muslims that most would cringe at mere thought of.
In this thread we would like to mainly about two of his books. On is titled
Islam and Jihad
and another one is
RSS and BJP : Divison of Labour.
He has the incisiveness and decisiveness of Edward Said and the detractors have no chance when he makes a case. Thus in personal view of yours truly, in spite of his liberal inclinations, he is an underestimated asset for Ummah.
