The Islamic Syncretistic Tradition in Bengal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780691612966)

Asim Roy argues that Islam in Bengal was not a corruption of the "real" Middle Eastern Islam, as nineteenth-century reformers claimed, but a valid historical religion developed in an area totally different from the Middle East.
