Arif A Jamal: Enhancing understanding of Muslim communities in South AsiaThe book under review seeks to redress it by making the first attempt to look at all of South Asian Muslim communities. This results in 15 chapters covering topics such as ‘Matrilocal Marriage and Women’s Property among the Moors of Sri Lanka’ to ‘The Ismaili Conciliation and Arbitration Boards in India: A Model of Community Justice?’; from ‘Ilm and the Individual: Religious Education and Religious Ideas in Pakistan’ to ‘‘Being Muslim’ in Contemporary India: Nation, Identity, and Rights’ and to ‘Muslim Aspirations in Bangladesh: Looking Back and Redrawing Boundaries.’

[…] Arif A Jamal provides insight into the functioning of ‘The Ismaili Conciliatino and Arbitration Boards in India’ wherein he writes in detail about how the Ismailis have been able to create a system of arbitration that satisfies the needs of this religious group even while working within the Indian constitution.
