Explore the vibrant social roles of Sufis in medieval India with “The Sufis of Bijapur, 1300-1700.” Professor Richard M. Eaton challenges the notion that Sufis were detached mystics, arguing instead they were deeply integrated into the societal fabric of Bijapur. This seminal work, a classic from the Princeton Legacy Library, delves into the complex relationships between Sufis and the orthodox ‘ulama, the royal court, and the surrounding non-Muslim population. Discover how these spiritual leaders translated mystical traditions into relatable terms, profoundly influencing medieval South India. An essential read for understanding the intricate dynamics of an often-overlooked city-state and the multifaceted contributions of Sufism. Reissued for modern scholars and enthusiasts by The Bookish Owl.
