In a series of legal battles starting in 1882, South Asian Muslims
made up of modernists, traditionalists, reformists, Shias and
Sunnis attempted to modify the laws relating to their places of
worship. Their efforts failed as the ideals they presented flew in
the face of colonial secularism. This book looks at the legal
history of Muslim endowments and the intellectual and social
history of sectarian identities, demonstrating how these topics are
interconnected in ways that affected the everyday lives of mosque
congregants across North India. Through the use of legal records,
archives and multiple case studies Sana Haroon ties a series of
narrative threads stretching across multiple regions in Colonial
South Asia.
