This reverals the shifting contours of the world of Monsoon Islam during the periods of Portuguese oppression, British colonial rule, the nationalist struggle, and Indian independence. It suggests that the need to negotiate between the local and the world beyond, between the faithful and the infidels, the ideals and necessity, has been a central feature of Islamic history from its inception.
