“Dr. Akbar Ahmed’s new play The Trial of Dara Shikoh is not merely a drama in a South Asian setting but an incisive presentation of the struggle between the exponents of liberal/humane Islam with its worldview based on the centrality of love of God and opposed to it, the intellectualism of orthodox theologians. This is a well-deserved tribute to a forgotten man of history.” – Nadeem Hasnain, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Lucknow, Director, Center for Social Action and development, Lucknow" http://centerforsocialchange.org/html/donate.html
