Description
Based on intensive fieldwork in Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India, fourteen papers explore the everyday religious lives of the Muslim populations in these areas. Arguing that Islam cannot be understood through the works of theologians alone, for whom it is a formal, uniform and rigid system of beliefs and practices, This book makes the claim that Islam as it is practiced by millions of Muslims in South Asia, has an empirical validity and is a dynamic process of adjustment and accommodation as well as conflict with other religions, with which it coexists.
