Islamic Reform in South Asia

The articles in this volume build up ethnographic analysis complementary to the historiography of South Asian Islam, which has explored the emergence of reformism in the context of specific political and religious circumstances of nineteenth century British India. Taking up diverse popular and scholarly debates as well as everyday religious practices, this volume also breaks away from the dominant trend of mainstream ethnographic work, which celebrates sufi-inspired forms of Islam as tolerant, plural, authentic and so on, pitted against a 'reformist' Islam. Urging a more nuanced examination of all forms of reformism and their reception in practice, the contributions here powerfully demonstrate the historical and geographical specificities of reform projects. In doing so, they challenge prevailing perspectives in which substantially different traditions of reform are lumped together into one reified category (often carelessly shorthanded as 'wah'habism') and branded as extremist - if not altogether demonised as terrorist.

The Crystal Conflict

On a seemingly insignificant planet called Rylaxon, society hung by a thread in the shadow of a crippling energy shortage. Once-productive mines were failing, and in desperation, miners were forced to dig deeper, forgoing safety and sanity in search of the precious nucleotide crystals that powered the planet for 1,953 years. It is during these troubling times that Biron Coomra is born to a race of clone-like people. His father is a well-known and respected biophysicist who made a historic discovery on a distant planet--absolute proof of the existence of intelligent life in the universe: humanity. Biron's mother is a thirteenth-level witch from this newly discovered world called Earth, and sh...
