Against the backdrop of the turbulent social and political landscape of today's Pakistan,�Robert Rozehnal traces the ritual practices and identity politics of a contemporary Sufi order: the Chishti Sabiris.�He does so from multiple perspectives: from the rich Urdu writings of twentieth century Sufi masters, to the complex spiritual life of contemporary disciples and the order's growing transnational networks.�Drawing on new textual and ethnographic research, this multi-dimensional and interdisciplinary study of the Sufi tradition challenges the prevailing models of academic scholarship.
