This book examines the traditions, rituals, experiences, and legacy of the S¿br¿ branch of the Chisht¿ order. Challenging the notion of Sufism as an ossified relic of the past, it presents evidence of growing interaction, accommodation, and intermingling within Sufi orders. It also highlights the active involvement of the Chisht¿-S¿br¿s in the much discussed reformist upsurge in north India and explains how they addressed questions posed by colonial rule while still adhering to their mystical heritage.
