[321]-355) and index.Jihad as ethics, Jihad as war -- Jihad in precolonial South Asia -- The martyrs of Balakot -- Jihad in colonial India -- Jihad as anticolonial nationalism -- Islam subverted? Jihad as terrorism -- Conclusion.Today, more than ever, jihad signifies the political opposition between Islam and the West. As the line drawn between Muslims and non-Muslims becomes more rigid, Jalal seeks to retrieve the ethical meanings of this core Islamic principle in South Asian history. Drawing on historical, legal, and literary sources, Jalal traces the intellectual itinerary of jihad through several centuries and across the territory connecting the Middle East with South Asia.JihadMartyrdomIslamMuslim martyrsSouth AsiaIslam and politicsSouth AsiaJihad.MartyrdomIslam.Muslim martyrsIslam and politics297.7/20954Jalal Ayesha500607MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778016703321Partisans of Allah3841830UNINA
