Few books have shaken the political and legal foundations of the Indian subcontinent like the 58-page Urdu pamphlet known as Rangila Rasul or Rangeela Rasool . Published anonymously in Lahore in 1924, its title translates to the "Colourful" or "Promiscuous Prophet". While frequently searched for as a downloadable English PDF, the book's true importance lies in its explosive historical aftermath. Its publication led directly to a high-profile murder, the creation of India's colonial blasphemy laws, and is considered by some historians to have fueled the sentiments that eventually led to the Partition of India.
