About the Book

A learned and progressive Maulvi wants to teach mathematics, science and computers at his madrasa in an Indian village. He enjoys the support of a large number of villagers who lovingly call him Maulvi sahab. This village Basera lies around two hundred kilometers from Delhi. Maulvi sahab believes that education is the key to a happy and prosperous life. He does not believe in conspiracy theories that Muslims are denied their rightful share due to their religion. A devout Muslim, Islam for him is a religion and not a tool to fulfill political ambitions. But the Wahhabis are hell-bent upon using Islam as a political tool. These Wahhabi clerics and Sheikhs sitting pretty in Saudi Arabia continue to pull the strings of local politicians and their proxies in India. The Wahhabis want people sympathetic to their ideology to win elections so that they can have their own people in policy making institutions such as the Parliament and Legislative Assemblies. This helps them cement the belief that Wahhabi ideology is the only true version of Islam. Local politicians and a major political party that receive huge funds from these Wahhabis unleash a vicious game to break the spirit of Maulvi sahab and other right thinking Muslims. They even foster a womanizer and crook as a knowledgeable Islamic cleric who issues fatwas by the day but indulges in wine and women at night. A game is unleashed to establish the narrative around Wahhabi Islam and decimate the Muslim rationalists led by Maulvi sahab in Basera village. Chip in the Madrasa is an insightful tale that unravels how the Wahhabis play their vicious games and continue to maintain their vice-like grip on Muslim minds across the globe.
