History of Sufism in India- Vol. 1

This work seeks to study sufism as a psycho-historical phenomenon. The author finds it efficacious to combat social and political upheavals which are brought about by prolonged political revolutions, associated with autocratic oppression and economic deprivation. This first of two volumes outlines the history of sufism before it was firmly established in India and then goes on to discuss the principal trends in sufi developments therefrom the 13th to the beginning of the 16th centuries.
