Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Sounding Islam provides a provocative account of the sonic dimensions of religion, combining perspectives from the anthropology of media and sound studies, as well as drawing on neo-phenomenological approaches to atmospheres. Using long-term ethnographic research on devotional Islam in Mauritius, Patrick Eisenlohr explores how the voice, as a site of divine manifestation, becomes refracted in media practices that have become integral parts of religious traditions. At the core of Eisenlohr’s concern is the interplay of voice, media, affect, and listeners’ religious experiences. Sounding Islam sheds new light on a key dimension of religion, the sonic incitement of sensations that are often difficult to translate into language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important current debates within and about Islam concerns its relation with power. Can Muslims be fundamentally content without power or as a minority? This book considers the voice of an important Muslim minority through its sermons. Indian Shi'i Muslims are a minority within a minority, constituting about ten to fifteen percent of the population as a whole, but comprising of about fifteen million people. Ten sermons are presented entirely and many more are quoted in order to analyze the preaching tradition in full. This book is the first survey to present the Indian mourning gathering and explain the history of this extraordinary phenomenon.
Download or read book Muslims in India written by Qamar Hasan and published by Northern Book Centre. This book was released on 1987 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work is unique in the sense that it has not only delved into historical antecedents of the contemporary attitudes of the new generation of Indian Muslims, but has also brought out their adjustment mechanisms and reactions to the demands which are made upon them from a section of the majority. For the understanding of different aspects of behaviour of the minority vis-a-vis the majority, the author has liberally drawn upon the relevant literature of three branches of social sciences, viz., Psychology, Sociology and Political Science. The studies of minority-majority relations elsewhere are referred to for making the reader aware that to a very large extent minorities, wherever they are found, behave in the similar way. Reviews “... The perspective offered by the author in the present study augurs well for the cause of nation-building in the specific context of the persisting and ever elusive communal problem in India.†Prof. Iqbal Narain “The publication is so fascinating that I read more than half by the time I reached Lucknow†. Prof. H.S. Asthana “The first full length study of the mass psychology of the Muslim mind after Mujib’s The Indian Musilms .... Qamar Hasan has used the tools of academic research to study the Muslim factor in Indian Politics... read it because it is a same voice in the madness all around. Tapan Basu, Sunday “The book clearly brings out reactions indicative of fear of domination and urge to dominate ... the book has made a definite contribution in the understanding of inter-and intra-group relationships.†Pramod Kumar “The author must be complimented for his bold and frank revelations about the attitudes of Muslims and Hindus towards each other, their self appraisals and their assessment.†Dr. K. Ravichandra, Review Projector, Vol. VIII, Nos. 10–12 “The causes and cures of the serious problems bedevilling relations between the Muslim minority in India and the Hindu majority badly need studying within a socio-psychological framework. Qamar Hasan is on the right track for a social scientist to throw light on the problems of his people, but he needs to settle on just one frame of reference and typology and then test some bolder hypotheses.’’
Download or read book The Voice of A Betrayed Indian written by R.S. Lakshmi and published by Educreation Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt made to torch lights upon the concealed parts of many social issues at the dawn of the structured-modern society. When we come to speak about society, it is factual to say that society is dynamic in nature. Only when change befalls, the society can have its progress. However, here one has to look out what kind of change we require and be wary about the consequences of the change which we are about to face in future. Not all change is progress. Violence, poverty, corruption, human rights violations and racism are some of the major problems that we citizens of India face in everyday life. Urbanization and Industrialization has a great impact in the current functions and changes of society’s major institutions, including family system, culture and women empowerment, which demands to expose the untold part of it. It is time to critically analyse and get clear with the change and problems of the society by understanding its root cause to find solutions at 360 degree perspective Hope that this book will help to do that and inspire many people to work for the real development that this nation is longing for. Certainly, this book will be a twitch to all those who want to have a glimpse upon the obvious but unseen social problems.

Download or read book The Female Voice in Sufi Ritual written by Shemeem Burney Abbas and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-06-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The female voice plays a more central role in Sufi ritual, especially in the singing of devotional poetry, than in almost any other area of Muslim culture. Female singers perform sufiana-kalam, or mystical poetry, at Sufi shrines and in concerts, folk festivals, and domestic life, while male singers assume the female voice when singing the myths of heroines in qawwali and sufiana-kalam. Yet, despite the centrality of the female voice in Sufi practice throughout South Asia and the Middle East, it has received little scholarly attention and is largely unknown in the West. This book presents the first in-depth study of the female voice in Sufi practice in the subcontinent of Pakistan and India. Shemeem Burney Abbas investigates the rituals at the Sufi shrines and looks at women's participation in them, as well as male performers' use of the female voice. The strengths of the book are her use of interviews with both prominent and grassroots female and male musicians and her transliteration of audio- and videotaped performances. Through them, she draws vital connections between oral culture and the written Sufi poetry that the musicians sing for their audiences. This research clarifies why the female voice is so important in Sufi practice and underscores the many contributions of women to Sufism and its rituals.

This book was released on 2006-01-11 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part 5 of a Review of The Pakistani Government’s ‘White Paper’: Qadiyaniyyat – A grave threat to Islam In 1984 the Islamic government of Pakistan set aside all Islamic injuctions and took upon itself the burden of depriving the Ahmadi Muslims of many basic human rights including religious social freedoms. In an attempt to justify this action, the government of Pakistan published a so-called White Paper under the title ‘Qadiyaniyyat – Islam kay liya Sangin Khatrah’ (Qadiyaniyyat – A Grave Threat to Islam). Although there was nothing new in this so-called White Paper and the Jama’at literature already included detailed answers to all the issues which were raised, nevertheless Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, Khalifatul-Masih IV, the then Imam of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, answered these allegations in a series of Friday sermons. These sermons (in Urdu) were published by the London Mosque in 1985 and the English translation is now being published. Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad Khalifatul-Masih IV(rta) delivered this sermon on February 22, 1985 at the Fazl Mosque London and answered the allegations that questioned the role played by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at in protecting the national security of Indian Muslims. In this context he gave a detailed discussion of the role played by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at in protecting and promoting the interests of the Indian Muslims especially during the Khilafat Movement and the Shudhi Movement.

Many important issues have been raised in the book, as well as the status of Muslims in government schemes and programs has been assessed. The book also tries to find out the size of the problems of Indian Muslims and how they can be resolved. Terrorism has been mentioned in many places in the book, which is an attempt to clarify that Indian Muslims are not intolerant by their nature but external forces want them to live in a state of isolation in the country. This is the reason why an attempt has been made to understand the situation in Kashmir as well. This book is dedicated to all those readers who want to understand Indian Islam from a new but established point of view.
