This book analyses South Asian Islam's engagement with the West,
and Britain in particular. It traces the roots of British
multiculturalism to South Asia and the Deobandi school of Islam.
The work shows how the pattern of interaction that initially
emerged between the Deobandi Muslims and the colonial British state
in late-19th century replicated itself in the British society in
the second half of 20th century. The monograph reflects upon
Islam's 'compatibility' with liberal democracy as well as explores
how it contributed to its origins in the Enlightenment ethos. A
nuanced, sensitive and topical study, this book will be essential
to understanding the world in the light of contemporary world
events-Paris 13/11 and Charlie Hebdo attacks, the Danish cartoon
controversy, and the Trojan Horse incident in certain British
schools as well as the much earlier Rushdie affair. It will be of
great interest to researchers and scholars of political science,
religion, political Islam, British and South Asian Studies, and
history.
