Sanjay Khan Opens Up On His Book ‘Assalamualaikum Watan’: “There Is An Impact That The Indian Muslim Has…”

Actor-filmmaker Sanjay Khan is set to launch his second book titled “Assalamualaikum Watan”, which will trace the role of Muslims’ in shaping India’s heritage.

Khan emphatically declares in almost every page of the book (which has 10 chapters) that he “considers himself an Indian first and then a person of the faith”.

According to Khan, the term “minority” needs to be dispensed with as it comes with inferior insignia.

Khan suggests, through this book, that the Indian government should embark on an initiative to address all as Indians and “if needed add the prefix Indian to the community name. For instance – Indian-Muslims, Indian-Hindus, Indian-Christians, Indian-Sikhs which will give every citizen a sense of feeling Indian before anything else”.
