Muslims bio-cultural perspective
Rizvi, S.H.M
Muslims bio-cultural perspective S.H.M. Rizvi - Delhi B.R World, c1984 - xiii, 232 p. 24 cm.
Includes index
The work aims to answer the question of bio-cultural identity of Muslims from exclusively anthropological perspective. The concept prevailing currently and accepted by the native population dichotomizes Muslims. Those who came and settled in India during the various invasions and historical migrations constituted one group while the other group was believed to be formed by mass conversions of the local Hindu populations of a comparatively lower order in the caste hierarchy. Based on this, a clear line of distinction was drawn between `shttlifa' and ' nau-Muslim ' and non-Muslim elements present in the Indian sub-continent.
