Teena Purohit: 1 book
The Aga Khan Case
religion and identity in colonial India
Language: English
Release Date: October 31, 2012
An Arab-centric perspective dominates the West’s understanding of Islam. Purohit presses for a view of Islam as a heterogeneous religion that has found a variety of expressions in local contexts. The Ismaili community in colonial India illustrates how much more complex Muslim identity is, and always has been, than the media would have us believe.
