- W2023686033 abstract "Contemporary concerns around political Islam, the mobilization of jihad, and terrorism have produced a plethora of policy-driven writings and analyses that often tend to single out Islam as a religion of aggression. Ayesha Jalal's book is therefore an important scholarly intervention that challenges reductive understandings of jihad as “holy war” against non-Muslim infidels by providing a rich intellectual history of the shifting, diverse, and contested meanings of jihad in South Asia. As Jalal points out, the focus on South Asia is a particularly valuable one not only because the Indian subcontinent is the most populous Muslim region in the world but because Islamic intellectual traditions in the region have been shaped over a millennium in a context where Muslims have lived as a minority in a predominantly non-Muslim society. With the present Talibanization of the northwest frontier, the book aptly begins with the story of Sayyid Ahmad and Shah Ismail, who ventured from north India to the northwest frontier to wage a jihad against its Sikh rulers from 1826 to 1831 and went on to become the legendary martyrs of Balakot. Jalal places their jihad in the context of the ideas of Shah Waliullah, a Delhi-based scholar writing amidst the decline of Mughal sovereignty, and reveals the discursive and imaginative power of this failed venture as it animated subsequent reflections on jihad. Jalal examines the political and intellectual challenges that Muslim thinkers faced with the rise of Western imperialism and the production of colonial knowledge about Islam, the different articulations of the universal claims of jihad for purposes of an anticolonial territorial nationalism, and finally the entangled relationship among postcolonial states, the ulema, and Cold War mobilization of jihad—bringing us back to the extraordinary challenges of understanding jihad in the age of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban." @default.
