The Islamic Syncretistic Tradition in Bengal

Meer over het boek

The book presents a compelling argument that Islam in Bengal should be recognized as a distinct and legitimate historical religion, rather than a mere offshoot of Middle Eastern traditions. Asim Roy challenges the views of nineteenth-century reformers, emphasizing the unique cultural and historical context of Bengal that shaped its practice of Islam. This perspective invites readers to reconsider the diversity and evolution of Islamic beliefs and practices beyond their Middle Eastern origins.
