While there exists scholarly works on madrasas in India during
medieval times and the colonial period, there is hardly anything on
the conditions of madrasas today, and those are by and large based
on secondary literature and not grounded in detailed empirical
investigation. This work, through ethnographic study undertaken at
two madrasas in Mubarakpur in Uttar Pradesh, shows how Indian
madrasas represent a diverse array of ideological orientations
which is mostly opposed to each other's interpretation of Islam. If
madrasas are about the dissemination of Islamic knowledge, then
they also problematize and compete over how best to approach that
knowledge; in the process they create and sustain a wide variety of
possible interpretations of Islam. This volume will be of interest
to scholars and researchers interested in the study of Islam and
Indian Muslims. Since it is multidisciplinary in approach, it will
find space within the disciplines of sociology, social anthropolgy,
history and contemporary studies.
