In a detailed introduction, the editors present a critique of the
divergent approaches to sufi studies from the early twentieth
century to the present. The essays explore the methods adopted by
the Punjab sufis to popularize the mystic ideology and praxis in
the medieval socio-cultural milieu. These writings also delve into
the different genres of sufi literature, both in the elite and
vernacular languages, with a view to appreciate the nuances of
Punjab sufism. Apart from the architectural features of the sufi
shrines, attempts have been made to illumine the organic linkages
between these institutions and the Punjabis and, thus, to
underscore the sufic non communitarian devotion as a major
ingredient of the Punjabi cultural fusion. Characterized by an
engagement with inter-disciplinary tools of historical analysis,
this volume is of interest to the students of history, sociology,
anthropology, philosophy, literature and folklore.
