These essays are a broad selection from years of scholarship and give a clear view of Professor Khan’s contribution to the field. Their main br\u0026gt;Theme is Kashmiriyat, the essence of Kashmiri culture, that can be traced through history. Professor Khan forcefully argues that Kashmiri Islam is ‘neither syncretism nor synthesis’. in other words, Kashmiri culture should not be understood as a watered-down version of a ‘pure’ Islam, but rather as the result of a cultural transformation in no way at odds with Islam as a religion. He traces Kashmir history as an outward looking and culturally self-assured society, tied closely to the rest of the Indian subcontinent, but maintaining unique traditions available to both Muslims and non-Muslims. The essays take a close look at the range of available historical sources to address the relationship between Brahmanism and Islam, the role of saints and ritual in Kashmiri Islam, the Persian influence on Kashmir, and many other issues. Professor Khan ends with a candid examination of his own experience as a Kashmiri living through the second half of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789390737437\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.9 x 6.4 x 1.0 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50135332290864,"sku":"DRG.ePrimus_9789390737437","price":822.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81_UAFmaYLS.jpg?v=1757604528","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/islamic-and-cultural-foundations-of-kashmiriyat","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
