A four members delegation of the Bangalore Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at including its president Musaddiq Ahmad attended a book release ceremony at an auditorium in Bangalore of the title “Hindutva Or Hind Swaraj” by the late popular writer Jnanapeet Awardee Padma Bhushan U R Ananthamurthy.
This book is the English translation of U R Ananthamurthy’s last work which was in Kannada. As the name suggests it was about his fear of the rising fascism in India.
