"In this study of religious change in South Asian Islam, Claudia Liebeskind examines the development of three sufi traditions in Awadh in the modern period. In considering the social, economic and spiritual settings of these traditions - Takiya Sharif, Kakori; the Khanqah Karimiya, Salon; and Haji Warith 'Ali Shah, Dewa - she demonstrates the workings of the saints' courts and the interaction between sufi saints and their constituencies."--BOOK JACKET.
