Positioning Islamic Theology and Karamat in Sufi Discourse: Examining the Nizamiyya Tariqa

Author Exchange

Anthropologist Mukulika Banerjee and political scientist Sushmita Pati have a conversation about their recently published books set in rural Bengal and Delhi’s urban villages, respectively. They situate their analyses of the intersections between democracy, capitalism, urbanization, and globalization in events, relations, and cultures of the everyday. Their exchange offers important insights for how political subjectivities and social ties are differently constituted or, to use Banerjee’s term, “cultivated” in these two settings. The two books offer a fine-grained view of how active citizenship in rural and urban India is refracted through distinct social and institutional structures. India is home to some of the world’s largest cities while more than 900 million people continue to live in the countryside. Its democratic future is therefore inextricably tied to the evolution of political behavior and political economy in both contexts, and, as Banerjee and Pati’s joint response indicates, to how urban and rural dynamics shape each other through (but not only through) migrants and their networks.

Recent advances in the catalytic applications of tin dioxide-based materials in the synthesis of bioactive heterocyclic compounds

Metal oxides are versatile catalysts in organic synthesis, exhibiting diverse properties such as acidity, basicity, redox behaviour, and stability. Among these, tin dioxide (SnO₂) stands out for its resilience and durability, making it a preferred catalyst. The reduced ionic character and high oxidation state (+4) of tin dioxide contribute to its heightened acidity. Tin dioxide based materials have gained significant attention as catalysts in heterocycle synthesis, cross-coupling, decarboxylation, ring-opening and ring-closing reactions, biodiesel synthesis, and glycerol transformations. Additionally, SnO₂-based materials are also employed as photocatalysts and photo-electrocatalysts
