Ismaili Hymns from South Asia

An Introduction to the Ginans

By: Zawahir Moir,Christopher Shackle

The Aga Khans have long played a prominent part on the international stage, but much less tends to be understood about the most important group of their followers, the Khoja Ismailis of South Asia, who are now also settled in many other parts of the world. Even less is generally known about the hymns, called ginans, which have historically formed so central an element in the religious life and rituals of the Ismaili community. The principal aim of this anthology is to fill this gap by providing a sympathetic introduction to this still largely unexplored tradition of South Asian devotional literature, and to draw attention to the many features of remarkable interest which it contains.

Texts and Contexts : Essays on Ismaili Hymns from South Asia in Honour of Zawahir Moir

By: Zawahir Moir

Composed in Indian languages and idioms, the Ginans have been sung for many centuries in the daily rituals of the Shia community, specifically the Satpanth Ismaili Muslims of South Asia. This volume on the Ginans illustrates how Muslims were influenced by the surrounding cultures and philosophies, and evolved/created new ways of expressing their beliefs and values.

Writings on India

By: John Stuart Mill

John Stuart Mill worked for thirty-five years in the Examiner's Office of the East India Company, first as a junior clerk and finally as head of the Office. His activities there are among the least examined aspects of his career. Mill was somewhat reluctant, because of his official position, to comment publicly on the Company's affairs, but occasionally he put forwards views in essays and before parliamentary committees that alert us to important elements in his thought and career. Further, when in the aftermath of the Indian Mutiny a succession of bills was brought forward in parliament to abolish the Companty, Mill was its chief spokesman in a succession of carefully argued pamphlets that reveal even more of his views. This volume offers the first opportunity for a fill assessment of Mill's contribution, including as it does the first reprinting of the essays, parliamentary evidence, and pamphlets, and adding an appendix of an annotated record and location of his despatches.
