By turning this perspective on its head, \u003cem\u003eIndian Sufism since the Seventeenth Century\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the politics and poetry of Indian Sufism through the study of Islamic sainthood in the midst of a cosmopolitan Indian society comprising migrants, soldiers, litterateurs and princes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlacing the mystical traditions of Indian Islam within their cultural contexts, this interesting study focuses on the shrines of four Sufi saints in the neglected Deccan region and their changing roles under the rule of the Mughals, the Nizams of Haydarabad and, after 1948, the Indian nation. In particular Green studies the city of Awrangabad, examining the vibrant intellectual and cultural history of this city as part of the independent state of Haydarabad. He employs a combination of historical texts and anthropological fieldwork, which provide a fresh perspective on developments of devotional Islam in South Asia over the past three centuries, giving a fuller understanding of Sufism and Muslim saints in South Asia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nile Green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415390400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415390408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.36w x 0.73d","brand":"Nile Green","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086309568767,"sku":"9780415390408","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef4046ea-be4e-4e43-b5c4-e2edf7d5eae2.jpg?v=1769093948","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/indian-sufism-since-the-seventeenth-nile-green-9780415390408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
