Nineteenth-century Delhi was marked by a curious mixture of political upheaval and cultural resurgence. Drawing on a wide variety of little known sources in Urdu and Persian; apart from the more conventional British records; this book provides a revelatory and vivid narrative of Muslims in the period covering the British conquest in 1803 to the end of the Khalifat movement in 1922. Moving away from teh tendency of studies on Muslims to focus on religious identity; this book allows us to historicize Islam and socially contextualize its many manifestations.

Pictures and drawings were great and you got a real feel of the place. Other books provide similar text; but without all the photos which is what I wanted in the first place.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. UsefulBy Eric MuellerUseful
