Sufism in India and Central Asia is an attempt to put into
perspective the relevance of Sufism - the concept and teaching, and
to provide a realistic assessment of its role in India and Central
Asia. The people of these regions with different ethnic
backgrounds, cultures and languages have been intermingling for
many centuries, as seen in the cross-current exchanges of religious
ideas and belief. The word Sufism, popularly known as mysticism is
most likely derived from the Arabic word suf (meaning "wool"), more
specifically it means "the person wearing ascetic woollen
garments." Sufism is deeply rooted in Islam and its development
began in the late 7th and 8th centuries. The present volume is an
attempt to look for answers to questions in relation to Sufism in
India and Central Asia and to evaluate its relevance in the
contemporary period. A group of distinguished scholars from India
and Central Asia have contributed papers to this volume. This
volume will be useful to students and researchers working on social
and cultural aspects of India and Central Asia.
