This volume explores the historical trajectory of the spread of
Islam in South Asia and how the engagements of the past have played
a crucial role in the making of the present outfits of South Asian
Islam. Islam in South Asia has maintained a distinct role while
imbibing cultural, social, ethnic, folk, and artistic networks of
the subcontinent in diverse echelons. In an unequivocal analysis,
this volume showcases the visible varieties of Islam from an array
of regional cultural, ethnic, and vernacular groups. While many
characteristics remain distinct in different provinces or regions
of South Asia, similarities are palpable in etiquettes, customary
laws, art, and architecture. More than regional differences,
various ethnic groups from all poles of the Indian subcontinent
have paved the way for the dissimilar landscapes of Islam, in
tandem with differences in language, culture, and festivals. The
case studies in this book exhibit forms of cultural pluralism in
the communities, which have helped in building a cohesive
community. Part of the ‘Global Islamic Cultures’ series that
looks at integrated and indigenized Islam, this book will be of
interest to students and researchers of religion, religious
history, theology, study of Islamic law and politics, cultural
studies, and South Asian Studies. It will also be useful to general
readers who are interested in world religions and cultures.
