About The Book:
Indian Muslims in Singapore: Identity and the Politics of Difference by Torsten Tschacher explores the complex history and contemporary struggles of Indian Muslims in Singapore, a significant yet often overlooked ethnic minority within the predominantly Malay Muslim community. Despite their large numbers and historical importance, Singaporean Indian Muslims have been marginalized both in scholarship and by the dominant Malay-Muslim institutions.
This book examines the growing demands for better representation and access to religious services for Indian Muslims, alongside the debates surrounding who has the right to speak on their behalf. Tschacher traces the negotiations and contestations over Indian Muslim identity in Singapore, analyzing the social and religious divisions created by ethnic differences and the intersection of race and religion within the broader Muslim context.
Through discussions of culture, race, language, and history, the book highlights the structural tensions that have given rise to these debates and emphasizes the role of institutional settings in shaping the visibility and voice of Indian Muslims in Singapore.
