Despite late reconsideration, a dominant paradigm rooted in
Orientalist essentialisations of Islam as statically 'legalistic'
and Muslims as uniformly 'transgressive' when local customs are
engaged, continues to distort perspectives of South Asia's past and
present. This has led to misrepresentations of pre-colonial Muslim
norms and undue emphasis on colonial reforms alone when charting
the course to post-coloniality. This book presents and challenges
staple perspectives with a comprehensive reinterpretation of
doctrinal sources, literary expressions and colonial records
spanning the period from the reign of the 'Great Mughals' to end of
the 'British Raj' (1526-1947). The result is an alternative vision
of this transformative period in South Asian history, and an
original paradigm of Islamic doctrine and Muslim practice
applicable more broadly.
