This book looks at the study of ideas, practices and institutions
in South Asian Islam, commonly identified as 'Sufism', and how they
relate to politics in South Asia. While the importance of Sufism
for the lives of South Asian Muslims has been repeatedly asserted,
the specific role played by Sufism in contestations over social and
political belonging in South Asia has not yet been fully analysed.
Looking at examples from five countries in South Asia (India,
Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan), the book begins
with a detailed introduction to political concerns over 'belonging'
in relation to questions concerning Sufism and Islam in South Asia.
This is followed with sections on Producing and Identifying Sufism;
Everyday and Public Forms of Belonging; Sufi Belonging, Local and
National; and Intellectual History and Narratives of Belonging.
Bringing together scholars from diverse disciplines, the book
explores the connection of Islam, Sufism and the Politics of
Belonging in South Asia. It is an important contribution to South
Asian Studies, Islamic Studies and South Asian Religion.
