| Description: |
A study of the Nakshibendi order, which originated in the 14th century in Central Asia. The text looks at their Sufi traditions and also their relationships with political parties, the higher echelons of state bureaucracy, and big financial groups. |
| Synopsis: |
When the Naqshibandis are brought to the fore in mass media, the focus is mainly on their relationship to various power centres. However, an analysis of such relationships raises questions including how religiosity as such is practiced, who are the significant Sufi leaders, how is the Sufi tradition carried over to new generations, which are the most burning theological issues. These questions and many more are answered in this book on the Naqshbandis in Western and Central Asia. |
