  • Fatwas and the Fabric of Law: Shariah in Practice in India

    Arun Shourie’s monumental work The World of Fatwas or The Shariah in Action represents one of the most comprehensive scholarly examinations of Islamic jurisprudence in practice within the Indian subcontinent. This book, drawing from over 18,000 pages of primary source material across forty volumes of fatwa collections, provides an unprecedented window into the mechanism by which Islamic religious law operates at the grassroots level. Shourie’s work is particularly significant for its methodical analysis of five major fatwa collections spanning different Islamic schools of thought – the Barelvi Fatawa-i-Rizvia, the Deobandi Fatawa-i-Ulema Dar al-Ulum, and others. This comprehensive approach allows readers to understand not merely isolated religious pronouncements, but the systematic worldview that underpins Islamic…

  • Uprooting the Beautiful Tree: Dharampal’s Rediscovery of India’s Indigenous Education System

    In the landscape of Indian historiography, few interventions have been as intellectually disruptive as Dharampal’s The Beautiful Tree: Indigenous Indian Education in the Eighteenth Century. First published in 1983, this landmark volume mounts a compelling challenge to entrenched colonial narratives that portrayed precolonial India as a civilizational void, bereft of formal education and awaiting the salvific arrival of British modernity. Drawing on archival records and administrative surveys commissioned by the British East India Company, Dharampal meticulously reconstructs an educational ecosystem that was at once decentralized, inclusive, and pedagogically rich. The source materials for Dharampal’s research include extensive data from early nineteenth-century surveys conducted in the Madras, Bombay, and Bengal Presidencies.…
