The Territories and Boundaries of Empires: Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal
The three so-called early modern Islamic empires formed in regions where the pre-Islamic Byzantine, Achaemenid and Sasanian and Mauryan and Delhi Sultanate states had originally been centered: the Bosphorous and Anatolia, the Iranian Plateau and the South Asian subcontinent. The boundaries of the Muslim-ruled Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal states were determined to a considerable degree by fixed geographic and economic realities, despite the explici…

The Ghazi Sultans and the Frontiers of Islam * By ALI Anooshahr
This book is remarkable in many respects. It is remarkable for its author's derisive contempt of earlier scholars, his apparent ignorance of elementary notions of logic and causation, his wilful disregard of evidence that doesn’t support his thesis and, more than anything else, his embrace of the subjunctive mood, with its implication for his consistent lack of proof for his principal arguments. This is a book that was published too quickly, and …
The Muslim Empires of the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals
Between 1453 and 1526 Muslims founded three major states in the Mediterranean, Iran and South Asia: respectively the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires. By the early seventeenth century their descendants controlled territories that encompassed much of the Muslim world, stretching from the Balkans and North Africa to the Bay of Bengal and including a combined population of between 130 and 160 million people. This book is the first comparative st…
“Silk Road, Cotton Road or . . . . Indo-Chinese Trade in Pre-European Times”
India and China were the most important producers of textiles in the world prior to the industrial revolution. However, whereas the Western historiography usually discusses Indian cotton and Chinese silk in connection with European imports, or with their sales in the Indian Ocean and the Middle East, cotton and silk were also exchanged between India and China. Indeed, Indian cotton and Chinese silk were probably the principal manufactured goods e…
Empires and Emporia: Palace, Mosque, Market, and Tomb in Istanbul, Isfahan, Agra, and Delhi
The association between empires and commercial institutions is a well-known feature of pre-industrial Muslim empires, such as the Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires. Rulers constructed religious monuments and civic institutions that simultaneously functioned as commercial centers. The key to this symbiotic relationship is the institution of waqf, the so-called “charitable endowments” that supplied funds to support mosques, schools, baths and oth…

The Garden of the Eight Paradises: Bābur and the Culture of Empire in Central Asia, Afghanistan and India (1483-1530)
This the first critical biography of Zahīr al-Dīn Muhammad Bābur, the founder of one of the great premodern Islamic empires, the Timurid-Mughul empire of India. It contains an original evaluation of his life and writings as well as fresh insights into both the nature of empire building and the character of the Timurid-Mughul state. Based upon recently published critical editions of Bābur's autobiography and poetry, the book examines Bābur's life …
The New Cambridge History of Islam
This volume traces the second great expansion of the Islamic world eastwards from the eleventh century to the eighteenth. As the faith crossed cultural boundaries, the trader and the mystic became as important as the soldier and the administrator. Distinctive Islamic idioms began to emerge from other great linguistic traditions apart from Arabic, especially in Turkish, Persian, Urdu, Swahili, Malay and Chinese. The Islamic world transformed and a…
The Ahrārī Waqf in Kābul in the Year 1546 and the Mughūl Naqshbandiyyah
Charitable endowment deeds or registers (waqfiyyah), represent one of the most important and underutilized sources for the history of the Islamic world. These documents provide a variety of data for architectural, economic, social, and religious history that are often ignored by annalistic historians. The waqfiyyah texts of the fifteenth-century Central Asian Naqshbandī pīr, Khwājah Ubayd Allāh Ahrār (1402-90), are important examples of such docu…
The Hadhrami Diaspora in South-Western India: The Role of the Sayyids of the Malabar Coast
Hadhrami Traders, Scholars and Statesmen in the Indian Ocean, 1750s-1960s
This volume covers the long neglected history of Hadhramaut (southern Arabia) during the modern colonial era, together with the history of Hadhrami "colonies" in the Malay world, southern India, the Red Sea, and East Africa. After an introduction placing Hadhramis in the context of other diasporas, there are sections on local and international politics, social stratification and integration, religious and social reform, and economic dynamics. The…
The Poetry and Autobiography of theBâbur-nâma
Literary biography is a difficult art to practice when the subject is a premodern Muslim poet. Even in the work of such explicitly autobiographical western writers as the twentieth-century Russian poet Anna Akhmatova the relationship between art and life can be tantalizingly ambiguous. In the case of most well-known classical Muslim poets, though, the connection between life and literature is usually indeterminable. To personalize the lyrics of t…
Coffeehouse-Communism to Dārā: The Encyclopaedia Iranica , Vol. VI, Fascicles 1-6
Readers normally assume that encyclopedias will be, well, encyclopedic, but they probably do not usually expect that a particular encyclopedia will function as a forum for advancing the state of knowledge in a field. Those who are familiar with Volumes I-V of the Encyclopaedia Iranica already know that its editor, Professor Ehsan Yarshater, has not only insisted that this encyclopedia would be exceptionally comprehensive, but that he has also enc…

Trade, Conversion and the Growth of the Islamic Community of Kerala, South India
One of the major deficiencies in the historiography of Islamic civilization has been the absence of research which satisfactorily accounts for the growth of individual Muslim communities. In contrast to the large body of sophisticated scholarship which has been published on other aspects of the history and culture of the Muslim world few works have yet appeared which make it possible to understand how the process of settlement and conversion inte…
The Khilafat Movement: Religious Symbolism and Political Mobilization in India
This volume examines the cultural and educational movements that arose among the North Indian Muslim elites in the last quarter of the 19th century. The Khilafat movement is analyzed in detail: its emergence, alliance with the Congress, mass contact methods and organization of the movement and its eventual decline and collapse

Nerccas: Saint-martyr worship among the Muslims of Kerala
Saint worship is a form of religious expression common to most Islamic societies, but it is especially important in the religious life of the Māppiḷas, the Muslims of Kerala State, South India. The Māppiḷas' largest public festivals are a variant of saint worship known as nerccas. These are expensive and elaborate ceremonials which combine nominally Islamic elements with certain features of indigenous folk festivals. Thus, while the focal point o…

The Islamic Frontier in Southwest India: The Shahīd as a Cultural Ideal among the Mappillas of Malabar
The only really unique feature of the Mappilla outbreaks which occurred in Malabar District during the period of British rule was that each attack was conducted as a kind of suicidal jihād, in which the Mappillas involved intentionally sought to become shahīds or martyrs for the faith. No other South Asian Muslims who took part in protest movements to achieve goals similar to those which underlay the Mappilla attacks resorted to suicidal jihāds a…

The Mappilla Outbreaks: Ideology and Social Conflict in Nineteenth-Century Kerala
During the nineteenth and the early twentieth century, a series of violent outbreaks erupted in the rural areas of Malabar District in northern Kerala. The outbreaks were conducted by small groups of Mappillas, the indigenous Muslims of Kerala. At the time they occurred, these "Moplah Outrages"-as the outbreaks were gothically labeled by British administrators-were the subject of extensive debate and wildly divergent interpretations. However, apa…
