520 |a This article provides a summary of developments in recent decades in the study of Sufism in South Asia (referred to here as the Indian subcontinent). Beginning with the highly influential formulation of Sufism as Islamic ‘mysticism’, it analyses the serious shortcomings of this category, before moving on to assess the impact of anthropological, socio-historical and post-structuralist approaches to Sufism in the subcontinent. A final section considers issues surrounding the roles of the Sufis in the relationship between Islam and Hinduism. In pointing to areas that have not been investigated as well as those that have been, the article aims to be of use to graduate students seeking research projects as well as undergraduates and scholars from other disciplines seeking an overview of the field.
