Months after launching his debut book - an autobiography, The Best Mistakes Of My Life - Sanjay Khan is set to take his love for writing further. His next book, Assalwaliakum Watan, aims to empower the Muslim youth of India to "become good citizens of the country".

Khan, who turns 78 today, tells mid-day, "The title has been with me for almost five years. The book aims to help the vast segment of over 200 million Muslims seeking education and a good job, and [enable them to] become good citizens of the country. Our country is facing concerns of [unemployment], and the Muslim community is marginalised and pushed to the brink. I don't want them to become a liability for the nation."
