This necessitates the support of Divine aid in every legitimate endeavor carried with sincerity. Hence, all praises are due towards Almighty Allah, for He is the real and sole benefactor in every action and enterprise that we carry out sincerely and purposefully. Unlimited salutations are on His beloved Prophet Muhammad (^sit), who is mercy for all the creatures. Interdependence is one of the distinguishing traits of our society. We are highly dependable on others, in one or other way, to carry out our temporal as well as spiritual affairs in a smooth and proper way. While embarking on any academic endeavor, supervision, guidance, support and suggestions from others are highly required to bring out fruitful results from such endeavors. At a research level, a research aspirant can hardly carry on his work without seeking help, guidance and moral support from others. At the very outset, I would like to acknowledge a debt of gratitude in favor of my ex- supervisor. Late Dr. Tauqeer Ahmad (May Allah forgive him, shower his limitless mercy on him and make heaven as his final abode). To me he was not merely a guide but also as a kind and caring person of friendly nature. His sudden death, indeed, a shocking moment for me, left me completely in a state of despondency. Despair, dejection and depression overwhelmed me and subdued my morale, though for a transitory period. The prayers of my parents, teachers and friends knocked the door of the Divine Court and I was able to recover from the psychological malady, and the thoughts of discontinuing my research work ceased to occupy the space of my mind. I really feel tongue-tied to acknowledge a deep debt of gratitude in favor of my supervisor. Prof SayyidAhsan, (Chairman, Department of Islamic Studies, A.M.U., Aligarh). lam highly indebted to him for giving me a space in the list of his students. His able and compassionate supervision really boosted my morale, and worked as a panacea, for me, at a time when I was overwhelmed by grief and sorrow and was at the verge of discontinuing my work. He gave a purposeful direction to the scattered material embedded in my research monograph and made it worth submission and presentation. His kind and sympathetic attitude really deserve an unfathomable expression of respect, reverence and obedience from me. "AcknawledgmentS"' My due thanks are due towards the faculty members of the Department of Islamic Studies, AM-XJ., for their valuable suggestions, encouragement and sympathy. Among them, primarily include the veteran Prof Zafar ul Islam Islahi, Dr(s) Adam Malik Khan, Ahsanul Haq, Abdul Hamid Fazili, Obaidullah Fahad, Muhammad Ismail, Abdul Majid Khan, Bilal Ahmad Kutty, Gazanfar AH Khan, Aijaz Ahmad, Imtiyaz ul Hoda and Zia ud Din Falahi. They all were too sympathetic and helpful throughout this whole course. I am also highly thankful to Dr. Hayat Amir Hussaini (Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, A.M.U.) for his valuable suggestions and guidance in choosing and specifying my research problem, at the very outset of this academic endeavor. I would like to express my deep sense of gratitude in favour of my revered teachers who taught me at P.G (M.A.) level, in the Department of Islamic Studies, Islamic University of Science and Technology (lUST), Awantipora, Kashmir, who have enriched and introduced me with the knowledge of diverse arenas of Islamic studies. They include Dr(s) Afroz Ahmad Bisati, Showkat Hussain, Ghulam Nabi Ganai (presently HOD/Chairman), and Ali Muhammad. They always extended their helpful hEands whenever I approached them. I am highly indebted to Dr. Showkat Hussain, who has always been a source of inspiration to me. His encouragement, support, guidance and fatherly attitude always boost my spirit to embark upon great academic ventures. My special thanks are due towards Mawlana Muhammad AshrafAndrabi, Sayyid Bilal Ahmad Kirmani, Showkat Husayn Kaing and Sameer Shaft Siddiqui, for their valuable prayers and guidance in academic as well as other aspects. While carrying my research work I received an unfailing support from my senior colleagues from the Department of Islamic Studies, Parvaiz Ahmad Khanday, Mohsin Afzal Dar, Dr. Parvaze Ahmad Bhat, Rehmatullah Khan, Muhammad Afzal, Muhammad Hassan and others. My special thanks are due towards Dr. Tauseef Ahmad Parray, who not only provided me with fruitful suggestions in the research process but also fulfilled the need of a caring elder brother. lam highly thankful to all of them. Dr(s) Irshad ul Haq, Nisar Ahmad, Muhammad Ramzan, from the Department of Arabic, should also receive my due thanks in this regard. I express my wholehearted thanks to my companions Muhammad Iqbal Rather, Showkat Ahmad Dar, Muhammad Dawood Soft, Muhammad III "AcknDwIedgmentS" Yaseen Gadda, Mudasir Ahmad Dass and Saajid Shaft. Besides receiving help in academic matters, I also enjoyed their loving company that released me from the anxiety of being away from my family members. Likewise, all my colleagues in the department of Islamic Studies, A.M. U, deserve special thanks from me, for their academic as well as moral support. I want to acknowledge wholehearted thanks to my fends, Umar Manzoor, Wasim Raja Khan, Sayyid Mueed ul Haq, Jahangir Hasan, Mir Shabir, Mohammad Maqbool, Manzoor Ahmad Rather, Latif Ahmad Khan, Rouf Ahmad Bhat, Arsheed Ahmad Bhat and Shoaib Gani. All of them are highly qualified personalities in diverse fields. They always support me in the difficult times with their unfathomable love and encouragement. My friend Athar Shahbaz Wani, (a research fellow atlXJST), have always enthused me with fresh and novel ideas pertaining to area of Islamic studies, besides playing the role of a sincere and supportive friend in my life. I am highly thankful to him for his untiring efforts that he made in my favor during whole period of this research. I will befalling in my duty if I do not acknowledge a debt of gratitude in favor of University Grants Commission (New Delhi, India), for facilitating my research work financially via providing me Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), throughout the period of my M.Phil course. I am thankful to the OflBce and Library Staff Members of the Department of Islamic Studies, A.M. U., (especially Mr. Mohammad Arif, Musharraf Ali, Mr Kabir Ahmad Khan, <2«^ Muhammad Anees); to former for their co-operation and help, and to later for their untiring and sincere efforts in making the relevant material available to the researchers on time. My thanks are due to the library staffo^ Mawlana Azad Libraray. A.M.U. fln^ Allama Iqbal Library, Kashmir University. I should acknowledge a debt of gratitude in favor of the Director of Research and Publication Division, Srinagar and its staff members for giving me space and time to utilize the manuscripts and other resource material present there. I have no words to express debt of gratitude to my spiritual guide, Shaykh Asadullah, whose prayers act as a strong barricade to my difficulties. His blessed company always consoles me and liberates me from the worldly pressures and anxieties. IV "AcknawledgmBntS" / would not like to be included in the list of ungrateful people by not remembering and thanking my grandparents and parents. My grandfather, LatePirzada GhulamHydar Shah, was my first guide and inspiration in the religious education. His empathetic guidance incited within my bosom, an interminable love for the Holy Qur'dn and the beloved Prophet I cannot forget the love, care and sincere prayers made in my favour by my grandmother. Late Sara Banoo. I pray Almighty Allah, to shower his unlimited mercy over them and rest their souls in the highest levels of heaven. My father, Pirzada Muhammad Amin Shah, who has been my true guide in temporal as well as spiritual affairs, always provided me rich nourishment both religiously as well as academically. He spared no efforts to facilitate my academic endeavors. My mother, Mahmooda Banoo, never let me droop down and taught me to face and tackle the situations of whatever nature. I could understand the language of her tearful eyes, every time she calls me on phone or bids me good-bye at my return to my 'academic home' (Aligarh) from my 'sweet home' (Kashmir).

Duchène, éd., La Mongolie dans son espace régional : Entre mémoire et marques de territoires, des mondes anciens à nos jours Valenciennes : Presses de l’Université de Valenciennes, 2020 : 261–93, ill. Le rôle d’une variété de marquages territoriaux, notamment culturels (sanctuaires et lieux de mémoire, en particulier) en Asie centrale est au cœur de recherches saisonnières que l’auteur de ces lignes a entreprises ou dirigées à partir de l’automne 2004 1. Individuels et collectifs, ces travaux visaient à promouvoir une géohistoire de l’islam en général, du soufisme spécialement, et de ses sociabilités gnostiques, en Asie centrale soviétique et actuelle. Cette recherche était axée sur l’étude des manières dont les pratiques et identités religieuses s’inscrivent dans une grande diversité de territoires, dans un contexte marqué, depuis le lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, par les impacts des répressions des années 1920 et 30, puis des déplacements massifs de populations des années 40-50 et par la création de nouvelles communautés territorialisées dans le cadre du système des fermes collectives. En grande partie inédite, interrompue un temps après 2011 par la dégradation du climat politique dans la région et une prévention générale envers la recherche internationale, ce travail s’est focalisé sur l’analyse d’un ensemble de processus hagiographiques dont le rapide développement a pu être observé dans cette partie du monde à partir de la chute du Mur, en novembre 1989, puis la dissolution de l’URSS deux ans plus tard.

A sample of 12 respondents was taken through convenience sampling method. In-depth interview was used as a tool for the collection of data from the respondents. The results show that Jirga is deep rooted in Pashtun society. People cannot go to courts for the solution of every problem and put their issues before Jirga. Jirga in these days is not a free institution and cannot enjoy its power as it used to be in the past. The majorities of Jirgaees (Jirga members) are illiterate, cannot probe the cases well, cannot enjoy their free status as well as take bribes and give their decisions in favour of wealthy or influential party. The decisions of Jirgas are not fully based on justice, as in many cases it violates the human rights. Most disadvantageous people like women and minorities are not given representation in Jirga. The modern days legal justice system or courts are exerting pressure on Jirga and declare it as illegal.

Abstract: Sayyid Ali Hamdani was a multi-dimensional personality. He belonged to Kubraviya order of Sufis. When he landed in Kashmir, the ethical quality was at its most reduced ebb. The pervasiveness of standings and sub-stations in the general public, misuse of ordinary citizens because of conventional Brahmins, had rendered normal individuals defenceless. Individuals were prepared to welcome any change in the framework. Under his effect, the impact of Brahmans declined. His Khanqah was available to all from the Sultan to poor Hindu. He had no reservation in counselling rulers and nobility because he saw that their policies were key to the welfare of people. He was a social reformer other than being a preacher.Among the 700 devotees, who went with him to Kashmir were men of Arts and Crafts Crafts, as a result, several industries of Hamadan (Iran) became well introduced in Kashmir. Key Words: Khanqah, Rights,Ruler, Sayyid Ali Hamdani,Sufi ,Zakhiratul-Muluk I. Introduction Sayyid Ali Hamdani, who belonged to the family of Alawi Sayyids1 was born on 12 Rajab, 714/22 October, 1314 at Hamdan2.

Many members of this community shared a history of migration into Gujarat from the southern Arabian Peninsula, north Africa, Iran, Central Asia and the neighboring territories of the Indian subcontinent. I analyze two key aspects related to the making of a community of ii learned Muslim men in the fifteenth century - the production of a variety of texts in Persian and Arabic by learned Muslims and the construction of tomb shrines sponsored by the sultans of Gujarat.
