Mohamad Tavakoli-Targhi offers a corrective to recent works on
Orientalism that focus solely on European scholarly productions
without exploring the significance of native scholars and
vernacular scholarship to the making of Oriental studies. He brings
to light a wealth of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century
Indo-Persian texts, made 'homeless' by subsequent nationalist
histories and shows how they relate to Indo-Iranian modernity. In
doing so, he argues for a radical rewriting of Iranian history with
profound implications for Islamic debates on gender.
