For the first time this book succinctly and admirably sums up the singular contribution of sufism and the disastrous consequences of its distorted version. In presenting both sides of sufism, this pioneering work provides new insights into its working in the south Asian context. It is the end-product of long years of scholarship and is accessible to both the specialist and the general reader.
