Masjid India

This guide to Masjid India in Kuala Lumpur begins in 1863, when South Indian Muslim traders from the Coromandel coast pooled their money to raise a mosque on a dirt track at the edge of their market. You'll hear how the modest brick original gave way to the confident three-story mosque inaugurated in 1966, and how the neighborhood folded itself around it into one of the city's busiest bazaars. Listen for how many times the mosque's own name changed before it settled into the one it carries now.
