Introduction to the Forum
This short article introduces the Forum on Muslim modernity in South Asia, placing its four articles-by Muhammad Qasim Zaman, SherAli Tareen, Julia Stephens, and Justin Jones-in the context of existing scholarship. I highlight the authors' contributions to the study of Islamic reform and of women's agency, in particular, in understandings of Muslim modernity in South Asia. Each of the contributions is on a discrete topic; this introduction theref…
Urdu Ethics Literature and the Diversity of Muslim Thought in Colonial India
This essay discusses Urdu-language akhlaq (ethics) texts produced and circulated in late-colonial India (1858-1947), situating them both within a classical genre of Islamic ethics and in the context of Indian vernacular print culture. It focuses on three akhlaq texts published between the 1870s and 1930s to consider contemporary Muslim ethical concerns and schema, arguing that the genre points to a widespread, everyday, and unexceptional Muslim s…
Muhammad Qasim Zaman. Islam in Pakistan
Islam in Pakistan: A History brings together what have become over the last twenty years two increasingly robust fields of historiography: one on Islam in modern South Asia, and another on Pakistan. This volume contributes to both in important ways, by charting the career of Islamic modernism in Pakistan since its establishment in 1947. Muhammad Qasim Zaman’s argument is clear and forthright: Islamic modernism—defined as “a complex of religious, …
The Social Space of Language
This rich cultural history set in Punjab examines a little-studied body of popular literature to illustrate both the durability of a vernacular literary tradition and the limits of colonial dominance in British India. Farina Mir asks how qisse , a vibrant genre of epics and romances, flourished in colonial Punjab despite British efforts to marginalize the Punjabi language. She explores topics including Punjabi linguistic practices, print and perf…

Imperial policy, provincial practices
This article explores three interrelated themes in the history of British colonialism in nineteenth-century India by examining colonial language policy. These themes are: the tensions between imperial and provincial imperatives of colonial rule; the relationship between language and colonial governance; and the limits of colonial power. I argue in particular that the transformation in colonial language policy in the 1830s, from using Persian to u…
Genre and Devotion in Punjabi Popular Narratives
In 1849, administrator-turned-historian Ganesh Das Vadhera completed Char Bagh-i-Panjab, a history of his native region in India, the Punjab. The Char Bagh was a Persian manuscript written as the Sikh Kingdom of Lahore was being dismantled and the Punjab incorporated into British India, and documented the establishment, decline, and fall of Sikh rule in the area. Vadhera's account was more than a political history of the Punjab, however; it also …
