Review

'This is an unusually accomplished first book' - Francis Robinson, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, Vol 17 Issue 1, 2007

"Superbly well-researched" and "splendid monograph … more than any other study to date succeeds in demolishing the notion of a dichotomy between ‘popular’ and ‘elite’ Sufism" - Richard M. Eaton, Journal of Islamic Studies, 18, 3 (2007)

"Each passage of this innovative and essential book demonstrates the mastery of an immense corpus of sources in Arabic, Persian and Urdu, and reveals an abundance of original ideas, that make us see the history of Islam in South Asia in new light." - Denis Matringe, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, 71, 3 (2008)

"a daring effort to venture beyond the texts, both by looking at the context that produced these saints and by putting each of the texts written about these three saints and their successors into the context of their respective times... this book is well-researched and timely." - Gijs Kruijtzer, Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient, 51, 4 (2008)

"a wonderful study …. The literature on Sufism in India is richer and more textured as a result of this work." - Sajjad H. Rizvi, American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences, 25, 3 (2008)

"A superb study of mystical Islam within the cultural context of India’s Deccan region…. Particularly impressive is the innovative analysis of Muslim saints in the Hyderabadi city of Aurangabad that draws on a wide range of texts in Urdu, Persian and Arabic, as well as anthropological fieldwork." - Siobhan Lambert-Hurley, Annual Bulletin of Historical Literature 93, 1 (2009)
