Abstract
Thus, history has become, after the Koran [Qurʾān] and Ḥadīth, the third important source of knowledge and a distinguished characteristic of Islamic civilisation. In this regard, it emerges that besides the rulers, the Ulama (religious scholars), poets and even traders appear to have been conscious of their place in history. All this led to the richness of historical literature in the classical period. (p. 242)
期刊介绍:
History and Sociology of South Asia provides a forum for scholarly interrogations of significant moments in the transformation of the social, economic and political fabric of South Asian societies. Thus the journal advisedly presents an interdisciplinary space in which contemporary ideas compete, and critiques of existing perspectives are encouraged. The interdisciplinary focus of the journal enables it to incorporate diverse areas of research, including political economy, social ecology, and issues of minority rights, gender, and the role of law in development. History and Sociology of South Asia also promotes dialogue on socio-political problems, from which academicians as well as activists and advocacy groups can benefit.
