Written by veteran journalist and broadcaster Saeed Naqvi 'The Muslim Vanishes’ is a play that opens up with a sensational premise- All Muslims in India have disappeared from the country overnight.
Presented by broadcaster Achala Sharma, the Cine Ink Podcast discusses the satire with its playwright, Saeed Naqvi, who poses a question whether a Muslim-free India, as a character speculates naively in the play, would be good for socialism, since what the 200 million Muslims leave behind would be equitably shared by the general population. Meanwhile, another character, a political leader, is traumatised by the sudden disappearance of the Muslim voter base and the prospect of a direct electoral confrontation with the numerically stronger Dalits and other backward classes.
In the Book Club segment, Dr. Vijaya Sati reviews a novel ‘Please Look After Mom’ by South Korean author Kyung-sook Shin. The book sold a million copies within 10 months of release in 2009 in South Korea.
