Explore the vibrant social roles of Sufis in medieval India with “The Sufis of Bijapur, 1300-1700.” Professor Eaton challenges traditional views, arguing that Sufis were not apart from society but integral to its fabric. This essential read delves into their complex relationships with Bijapur’s orthodox ‘ulama, the royal court, and the surrounding non-Muslim population. Discover how these mystical traditions were translated into meaningful terms for a diverse populace. Uncover the intricacies of this vital, yet often overlooked, South Indian city-state and its spiritual leaders. A must-have for students of medieval Indian history, Islamic mysticism, and South Asian studies, now available from The Bookish Owl.
