Explore the dynamic cultural landscape of 19th-century Punjab, where Sufi shrines and British colonial architecture vied for influence over local artisans. Delve into how mystically-inspired shrines, reflecting Muslim ruling ambitions, resonated more deeply with indigenous art traditions than Victorian Western institutions like Lahore’s Mayo School of Arts. This essential read examines the complex relationship between Punjabi artisans, Sufi communities, and the British Empire, shedding new light on political control, cultural influence, and the assertion of identity. Perfect for students of South Asian history, cultural studies, and anyone fascinated by colonial India’s artistic legacy.
