While most studies of Shi'i Islam have focused upon Iran or the
Middle East, South Asia is another global region which is home to a
large and influential Shi'i population. This edited volume
establishes the importance of the Indian subcontinent, which has
been profoundly shaped by Shi'i cultures, regimes and populations
throughout its history, for the study of Shi'i Islam in the modern
world. The essays within this volume, all written by leading
scholars of the field, explore various Shi'i communities (both Isna
'Ashari and Isma'ili) in parts of the subcontinent as diverse as
Karachi, Lucknow, Bombay and Hyderabad, as well as South Asian
Shi'i diasporas in East Africa. Drawing from a range of
disciplinary perspectives including history, religious studies,
anthropology and political science, they examine a range of themes
relating to Shi'i belief, practice, piety and belonging, as well as
relations between Shi'i and non-Shi'i communities.
