This book traces the impact of Sunni power on Shi'i society and how this changed during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book identifies a distinctive Kashmiri Shi'i Islam established during this period. Hakim Sameer Hamdani argues that the Shi'i community's religious and cultural identity was fostered through practices associated with the martyrdom of Imam Husayn and his family in Karbala, as well as other rituals of Islam, in particular, the construction and furore surrounding M'arak, the historic imambada (a Shi'i house for mourning of the Imam) of Kashmir's Shi'i. The book examines its destruction, the ensuing Shi'i -Sunni riot, and the reasons for the Shi'i community's internal divisions and rifts at a time when they actually saw the strong consolidation of their identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hakim Sameer Hamdani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0755643941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780755643943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e I.
