Nasira Sharma (b. 1948) is a Muslim lady married to a Hindu, a principled secularist, writing in Hindi. She is a prolific writer; her short stories about the contemporary life of Indian Muslims present a view of the minority community, who find it very difficult to part with traditional conservative ideals. The setting of a number of her stories appears to be a typical Muslim ghetto of a traditional type. She tackles practically all the burning problems of Indian Muslims, but without any bias against the Hindu majority community.
