South Asian Islam and British Multiculturalism

Om South Asian Islam and British Multiculturalism

This book analyses South Asian Islam¿s engagement with the West, and Britain in particular. It traces the roots of British multiculturalism to South Asia and the Deobandi school of Islam. The work shows how the pattern of interaction that initially emerged between the Deobandi Muslims and the colonial British state in late-19th century replicated itself in the British society in the second half of 20th century. It reflects upon Islam¿s `compatibility¿ with liberal democracy as well as explores how it contributed to its origins in the Enlightenment ethos. A nuanced, sensitive and topical study, the book will be essential to understanding the world in the light of contemporary world events.
