The spread of the Satpanth Ismāʻīlī Daʻwa in India to the fifteenth century /

This thesis is concerned with tracing the rise and spread of that section of the Nizari Ismaili Da'wa which eventually gave rise to what has come to be known as Satpanth Ismailism. The spread in turn involves studying the activities and identifying the various da'is or pirs who came to India and spread the Satpanth doctrine. It is fundamental to the study of movements like Ismailism, that the historical context in which they spread be understood clearly and it is only in this way that one can hope to understand the intellectual assumptions of the movement, in relation to the technique of propagation adopted by the da'wa. Hence the thesis is also concerned, as far as possible, to set out systematically the historical context within which Satpanth Ismailism spread, in order to establish some sort of an identity for it

The Nizari Isma'ili Tradition in Hind and Sind

This thesis is concerned with providing a perspective on the total heritage - oral, written as well as that observed in a continuing tradition of religious practice - among the Nizari Isma'ilis of the Sub-continent. It initially attempts to define the content and nature of this heritage (collectively termed 'Tradition') with special reference to the ginans preserved in manuscripts. The Tradition is studied with a view to analyzing the self-image therein of those who preached Nizari Isma'ilism, and also with the purpose of reconstructing a history of the da'wa as it spread and developed in the area. The second part focuses on certain specific themes, reflected in a few selected ginans, with a view to determining how certain basic Isma'ili concepts became metamorphosed in the ginans. Such a metamorphosis, it is argues, represents the process by which Nizari Isma'ilism was presented to the new adherents in the context of Indo-Muslim society
