Modern Pakistani and Indian Muslim perceptions of Christianity

In a forthcoming book,1 I have examined the development of Muslim perceptions of Christianity over the centuries, with particular reference to contemporary Egyptian views. In the early modern period, the nineteenth century in particular, together with Egypt it was the Indian sub‐continent which was the point of genesis of much of the new Muslim thinking which emerged on the subject of Christianity.2 This article will investigate the more recent development of this tradition, in both Pakistan and India, since they achieved their independence in 1947.
