Arabs Face the Modern World: Religious, Cultural, and Political Responses to the West

Dense, academic, and repetitive, the work is not for those unversed with Indian and Muslim culture and the history of the Indian independence movement, as it doesn't pause for explanatory commas. I'm glad I waited until I'd read Ramachandra Guha's histories of India. Jalal offers a counterpoint to pro-Gandhi, pro-Congress narratives, which I found thought provoking. There's also a detailed take on the ideas of poet Muhammed Iqbal, the history of the Ahmedis, and a lot of Punjabi politics.
