LUCKNOW: Fault lines in the faith: How events of 1979 shaped the Islamic world, a thought-provoking book by Padma awardee professor Iqbal S. Hasnain, was launched at Universal Book Sellers in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, on Saturday.

In his book, professor Hasnain examined how three key events—the Iranian Revolution, the Juhayman uprising in Mecca, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan—profoundly reshaped the political and religious landscape of Muslim societies in 1979, leaving lasting impacts on the region's trajectory.
