Islam - maker of the muslim mind | इस्लाम-मेकर ऑफ द मुस्लिम माईंड

“…(R)arer still is the example of a Hindu writer, who has approached 

Islam with scholarly detachment… Against this background, the publication 

of Prof. Sheshrao More’s Muslim Manacha Shodh’ in Marathi is a 

landmark event…. Prof. More took it upon himself to offer a fair and 

lucid account of the three main founts of Islam : The life of Prophet 

Muhammad, the Holy Quran and the Hadis.” 

- From the column by Dilip Padgaonkar former Editor of 

‘The Times of India’ dt. 3-11-2002. 

“No author of average capabilities would ever have been able to write 

So scholarly a book on religion with which he bears little or no 

association. Not a single line in the book has been penned without 

supportive evidence or reference…. The present work commands historiacal 

importance. So deep and thorough a study of the Quran and the Hadis 

- In other words, of Islam itself – had not previously been presented 

for our Hindu brethren by any Hindu thinker. Prof. More’s work is truly 

commendable… This book, which Sheshrao has authored after meticulous 

and thorough study, is an important an unprecedented achievement. It 

is an invaluable contribution to literature on Islam. An erudite work of 

this degree of excellence is exceptional… The work will inspire- as well 

and more thorough inquiry into Islam. If we want non-Muslims to study 

Islam, we must welcome, appreciate and encourage well-researched works 

like this publication, irrespective of all differences of opinion… The contents 

of most of the book are in conformity with the perspective assumed by 

the Quran, the Hadis and Islam itself.” 

- From the ‘Foreword’ by five Muslim scholars. 

“Prof. Sheshrao More is a well-known author and research scholar in 

Marathi literature. At present his book ‘Muslim Manacha Shodh’ is being 

widely discussed in Maharashtra. In this book the author has objectively 

Presented the truth about Islam and Muslims.”
