Focusing on the Maijbhandari movement in Chittagong, south-eastern
Bangladesh, which claims the status of the only Sufi order
originated in Bengal and which has gained immense popularity in
recent years, this book provides a comprehensive picture of an
important aspect of contemporary Bengali Islam in the South Asian
context. Expertise in South Asian languages and literatures is
combined with ethnographic field work and theoretical formulations
from a range of disciplines, including cultural anthropology,
Islamic studies and religious studies. Analysing the Maijbhandaris
tradition of Bengali spiritual songs, one of the largest popular
song traditions in Bengal, the book presents an in-depth study of
Bengali Sufi theology, hagiography and Maijbhandari esoteric songs,
as well as a discussion of what Bengali Islam is. It is a useful
contribution to South Asia Studies, as well as Islamic Studies.
