Focusing on a significant Islamist movement in South Asia, this historical and ethnographic account emerges from courageous fieldwork amid rising Hindu-Muslim tensions in India. It argues that a radically antisecular movement can evolve to support secular democracy, offering a vital perspective for contemporary global discussions. This work is crucial for political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, historians, and students of Islam, highlighting transformative possibilities within complex socio-political landscapes.
