| Abstract
|
:
|
This dissertation is an account of how contemporary Pakistani <i> 'ulamā'</i> grapple with their political realities and the Islamic state of Pakistan. The central conceptual question that scaffolds my dissertation is: How do Pakistani <i>'ulamā'</i> negotiate tradition, authority and sovereignty with the Islamic Republic of Pakistan? In engaging with this issue, this dissertation employs a methodology that weds ethnography with rigorous textual analysis. The <i>'ulamā'</i> that feature in this study belong to a variety of sectarian persuasions. The Sunnī <i> 'ulamā'</i> are Deobandī and Barelvī; the Shī'a <i> 'ulamā'</i> in this study are Ithnā 'Asharī.
