Sufism & Islamic mysticism; Islamic studies

Regional Sufi Centres in India: Significance and Contribution sets out to explore and understand the hundreds of years old multi-religious sect of India, ""Sufism,"" which advocates humane and global outlook for entire mankind and regards humanity as a brotherhood.

Sufism came to India from its Arabic Turkic and Persian homes, instead of remaining confined to palaces and mosques. It spread out to all over India establishing regional Centres and Dargahs often known by the surnames of the families which sustained it, like Khanqah-e-Niazia, in Bareilly (UP), Khanqah Gesu Daraz in Gulbarga, and Firdausi in Bihar.

The authors of this volume discuss some of the regional Sufi Centres in India and their contribution in the social emancipation of the society.
