While most studies of Shi'i Islam have focused upon Iran or the Middle East, South Asia is another global region which is home to a large and influential Shi'i population. This edited volume establishes the importance of the Indian subcontinent, which has been profoundly shaped by Shi'i cultures, regimes and populations throughout its history, for the study of Shi'i Islam in the modern world. The essays within this volume, all written by leading scholars of the field, explore various Shi'i communities (both Isna 'Ashari and Isma'ili) in parts of the subcontinent as diverse as Karachi, Lucknow, Bombay and Hyderabad, as well as South Asian Shi'i diasporas in East Africa. Drawing from a range of disciplinary perspectives including history, religious studies, anthropology and political science, they examine a range of themes relating to Shi'i belief, practice, piety and belonging, as well as relations between Shi'i and non-Shi'i communities.

Aga Khan III (1877-1957), the 48th Imam of Shia Ismali Muslims, held a long and distinguished career of many dimensions. He had an intimate knowledge of Eastern and Western cultures and therefore played a significant role in the international affairs of his time. He was also a social reformer whose concerns included the alleviation of rural poverty and the advancement of women in society. An advocate of modern education, he became an ardent supporter of male and female education in India and East Africa and played a key role in the development of the Muslim University of Aligarh. Also a keen connoisseur of culture, he advocated a multicultural education, blending the best of Western and Eastern literary classics. On the international front, he strove for world peace.This book is a comprehensive collection of his speeches and writings from 1902 until 1955, and includes works on constitutional progress in India, education, rural development, Hindu-Muslim unity, Indians in Africa, Turkey afterWorld War I, the renaissance of Islamic culture, Persian poetry, fortunes of the League of Nations, and more.

The Ismaili Muslims, who belong to the Shia branch of Islam, live in over 25 different countries around the world, mainly in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Their history has typically been linked to the history of the various countries in which they live, but the worldwide community is united under Prince Karim Aga Khan, the spiritual leader and 49th Imam of the Ismaili Muslims. Few fields of Islamic studies have witnessed as drastic a change as Ismaili studies, due in part to the recent discovery of numerous historical texts, and author Farhad Daftary makes extensive use of these new sources in the Historical Dictionary of the Ismailis. This comprehensive new reference work is the first of its kind on the Ismailis and presents a summary of the findings of modern scholarship on the Ismaili Shia Muslims and different facets of their heritage. The dictionary covers all phases of Ismaili history as well as the main doctrines of the community. It includes an introductory chapter, which provides a broad historical survey of the Ismailis, followed by alphabetical entries on all major aspects of the community, such as key figures, institutions, traditions, and doctrines. It also contains a chronology, genealogical tables, a glossary, and a substantial bibliography. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Ismailis.
