Description

As a thriving port city, nineteenth-century Bombay attracted migrants from across India and beyond. Nile Green's Bombay Islam traces the ties between industrialization, imperialism and the production of religion to show how Muslim migration fueled demand for a wide range of religious suppliers, as Christian missionaries competed with Muslim religious entrepreneurs for a stake in the new market. Enabled by a colonial policy of non-intervention in religious affairs, and powered by steam travel and vernacular printing, Bombay's Islamic productions were exported as far as South Africa and Iran. Connecting histories of religion, labour and globalization, the book examines the role of ordinary people - mill hands and merchants - in shaping the demand that drove the market. By drawing on hagiographies, travelogues, doctrinal works, and poems in Persian, Urdu and Arabic, Bombay Islam unravels a vernacular modernity that saw people from across the Indian Ocean drawn into Bombay's industrial economy of enchantment. Review 'Bombay Islam is a highly original account of how Muslim religious activity thrived in, and emanated out of, British-era Bombay, reaching across the seas to Iran and South Africa … This book offers a new and important transregional perspective on Islam in nineteenth-century India and the Indian Ocean.' A. Azfar Moin, Religious Studies Review'From the first page onwards, Green not only provides a piece of profound historic research but takes the reader on a trip from the dockyards and cotton mills to the saints' shrines and bookshops of Bombay to Hyderabad, Gujarat, Iran or South Africa. Thereby he enriches his narrative language with anecdotes, stories of myths and miracles from nineteenth-century accounts … this book is milestone in analyzing religious networks and their activities in South Asian history!' Fabian Falter, Sehepunkte (www.sehepunkte.de) Book Description Nile Green's Bombay Islam shows how Muslim migration from Bombay fueled demand for a wide range of religious suppliers.
