3. World Enough and Time: Religious Strategy and Historical Imagination in an Indian Sufi Tale

Muzaffar Alam (author)

Chapter of: Tellings and Texts: Music, Literature and Performance in North India(pp. 107–136)

Alam’s chapter presents a sophisticated analysis of a Persian text that creatively brings together Hindu and Muslim worlds. He specifically relates his work to a what is perhaps the most frequent performative dynamic recurring in the volume: the ways in which elements of stories were mixed and manipulated in retellings.
