Shi'a Islam in Colonial India: Religion, Community and Sectarianism - Cambridge Studies in Indian History and Society
Jones, Justin (University of Exeter)
Interest in Shi'a Islam has increased greatly, although Shi'ism in the Indian subcontinent has remained largely underexplored. This book traces the history of Indian Shi'ism through the colonial period toward independence in 1947. It shows how a Shi'a sectarian identity developed that existed separately from its Sunni counterparts.
