A friend shared this link. It's an excellent documentary -- on being a Muslim in contemporary urban India (New Delhi), on how one stumbles into an identity, how one tries to make sense of it. It is also about Okhla and Zakira Nagar and Jamia, the areas often called 'mini-pakistan." 30 minutes long.
 
It was made by a young woman who married a Hindu in a civil marriage, whose mother married a Hindu in a Muslim ceremony, whose grandmother married a first cousin, and whose great grandfather was Dr. Zakir Husain, the famous educationist and political figure.
