Muslim Slave System in Medieval India c16.130

c16.130

⁷³ *Ashraf-ul-Hidayah*, Deoband, VIII, 138-39. P. Venkateshwar Rao Jr., in his review of Akbar Ahmeds, BBC BKs/Penguin, *From Samarkand to Stornoway living Islam*, in the *Indian Express Sunday Magazine*, June 27, 1993, observes: He (Ahmed) hates Muslim wives whose children have Hindu names. But that is the legal position. A Musalman is expected to detest the company of a kafir, in spite of the efforts made for acquiring non-Muslim wives in medieval and modem times. But Ahmeds aim is, as he himself claims, to show where Muslims are able to live by the ideal and where they are not.
