Throughout India and Bangladesh, Sufi shrines exist in both the rural and urban areas, from the remotest wilderness to the modern Asian city, lying opposite banks and skyscrapers. This book illuminates the remarkable resilience of South Asian Sufi saints and their cults in the face of radical economic and political dislocations and breaks new ground in current research.SufismHistory20th centuryMysticismIslamSufismHistoryMysticismIslam.297.4297.409049Werbner Pnina306809Basu Helene880328MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910171003203321Embodying charisma1965734UNINA
