By: Sikand, Yoginder.
Material type:
ArticlePublisher: 2002Description: p.3849-858.Subject(s): Islam
In:
Economic and Political WeeklySummary: This survey suggests that increasing numbers of Muslims, particularly from long-marginalised `low' caste groups, are now demanding that their voices be heard, thereby seeking to challenge the established Muslim leadership as spokesmen of Islam and representatives of the community. These voices of dissent are significant in that they offer an interesting case of `lay' perspectives on Islam that emerges from a situation of struggle against oppression. In this sense, they can be said to represent a form of what can be called an Islamic theology of liberation. - Reproduced.
