18,445The Mohammadan Anglo-Oriental College (MAO),
that became the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) in
1920 drew the Muslim elite into its orbit and was a
key site of a distinctively Muslim nationalism. Locatedin New Dehli, the historic centre of Muslim rule, it washome to many leading intellectuals and reformers in
the years leading up to Indian independence. During
partition it was a hub of pro-Pakistan activism. The
graduates who came of age during the anti-colonial
struggle in India settled throughout the subcontinent
after the Partition.

In this incisive new book, M. B. Abbas argues that
the Western university has emerged as a significant
space for producing Islamic knowledge and Muslim
religious authority. For generations, Indonesia's
foremost Muslim leaders received their educations in
Middle Eastern madrasas or the archipelago's own
Islamic schools. Starting in the mid-twentieth century,
however, growing numbers traveled to the West to
study Islam before returning home to assume
positions of political and religious influence. Whose
Islam? examines the far-reaching repercussions of thischange for major Muslim communities as well as for
Islamic studies as an academic discipline.

This book is a new edition and translation into
English of the Arabic translation and commentary on
this text by the brilliant eleventh-century polymath alBîrûnî. Given the many historical variants of the Yoga
Sutras, his Kitāb Bâtanjalî is important for yoga
studies as the earliest translation of the Sanskrit text.
It is also of unique value as an Arabic text within
Islamic studies, given the intellectual andphilosophical challenges that faced the medieval
Muslim reader when presented with the intricacy ofcomposition, interpretation, and allusion thatpermeates this translation.

This book examines the complex evolution ofrelationships between the Mughal court and two
dominant modes of Islamic mysticism in early-modern
India: one centred around conservative orthodoxy, theother around a more accommodating and eclectic
approach to spirituality.
Based on Persian texts, court chronicles, epistolarycollections, and biographies of Sufi mystics, this bookoutlines and analyses Islamic religious and theologicalworldviews. It does so in order to show their influence
on – and differences with – Mughal political culture
and imagination.

Did South Asia have a shared regional identity prior
to the arrival of Europeans in the late fifteenth
century? This is a subject of heated debate inscholarly circles and contemporary political discourse.
Manan Ahmed Asif argues that Pakistan, Bangladesh,and the Republic of India share a common politicalancestry: they are all part of a region whose people
understand themselves as Hindustani. Asif describes
the idea of Hindustan, as reflected in the work ofnative historians from roughly 1000 CE to 1900 CE,
and how that idea went missing.

political and moral philosophers, he reveals how andwhy the image of the Persian king played such aprominent role in the political history of Islamicate
societies, in general, and in India, in particular. By
tracing the historical thread of this influence from
Samanid, Ghaznavid, and Ghurid empires, Auer
demonstrates how that legacy had an impact on theestablishment of Delhi as a capital of Muslim rulers
who made claims to a broad symbolic and ideologicalinheritance from the Persian kings of legend.

Eaton tells this extraordinary story with relish andoriginality, as he traces the rise of Persianate culture,a many-faceted transregional world connected byever-widening networks across much of Asia.
Introduced to India in the eleventh century bydynasties based in eastern Afghanistan, this culture
would become progressively indigenized in the time of
the great Mughals (sixteenth, seventeenth, andeighteenth centuries). Eaton brilliantly elaborates thecomplex encounter between India's Sanskrit culture—an equally rich and transregional complex that
continued to flourish and grow throughout thisperiod—and Persian culture, which helped shape theDelhi Sultanate, the Mughal Empire, and a host ofregional states. This long-term process of culturalinteraction is profoundly reflected in the languages,
literatures, cuisines, attires, religions, styles ofrulership and warfare, science, art, music, andarchitecture—and more—of South Asia.

and settled agriculture. Such inner frontiers could only
be bridged by the ongoing movements of Turkish,
Afghan, Rajput and other warbands. Like the mostspectacular examples of the Delhi Sultanate and theMughal Empires, they all based their power on the
exploitation of the most lethal weapon of that time:

In the early 1400s, Iranian elites began migrating
to the Deccan plateau of southern India. Lured to theregion for many reasons, these poets, traders,statesmen, and artists of all kinds left an indelible
mark on the Islamic sultanates that ruled the Deccan
until the late seventeenth century. The result was thecreation of a robust transregional Persianate network
linking such distant cities as Bidar and Shiraz, Bijapur
and Isfahan, and Golconda and Mashhad.

Integrating forgotten tales of literary communities
across Iran, Afghanistan and South Asia – at a time
when Islamic empires were fracturing and new state
formations were emerging – this book offers a moreglobal understanding of Persian literary culture in the
18th and 19th centuries. It challenges the manner inwhich Iranian nationalism has infiltrated Persian
literary history writing and recovers the multiregional breadth and vibrancy of a global lingua

Asia Inside Out reveals the dynamic forces thathave historically linked regions of the world’s
largest continent, stretching from Japan and Korea to
the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the
Middle East. Connected Places, the second installment
in this pioneering three-volume survey, highlights thetransregional flows of goods, ideas, and people acrossnatural and political boundaries—sea routes, deltaecologies, and mountain passes, ports and oasis
towns, imperial capitals and postmodern cities. It
challenges the conventional idea that defines
geopolitical regions as land-based, state-centered,and possessing linear histories.

In the final volume of Asia Inside Out, a stellarinterdisciplinary team of scholars considers the
migration of people—and the ideas, practices, andthings they brought with them—to show the ways inwhich itinerant groups have transformed their culture
and surroundings. Going beyond time and place,which animated the first two books, this third one
looks at human beings on the move.

In the ruins of a medieval palace in Delhi, a unique

For over five hundred years, Muslim dynasties ruledparts of northern and central India, starting with theGhurids in the 1190s through the fracturing of the
Mughal Empire in the early eighteenth century.
Scholars have long drawn upon works written in
Persian and Arabic about this epoch, yet they haveneglected the many histories that India's learned elite
wrote about Indo-Muslim rule in Sanskrit. These
works span the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire
and discuss Muslim-led kingdoms in the Deccan andeven as far south as Tamil Nadu.

became highly contested. Considered deviant and `unIslamic', they soon fell under government control aspart of a state-led strategy to create an `official',
more unified, Islamic identity. This book, the first toaddress the political history of Sufi shrines in Pakistan,
explores the various ways in which the postcolonialstate went about controlling their activities.
