'Bombay Islam is a highly original account of how Muslim religious activity thrived in, and emanated out of, British-era Bombay, reaching across the seas to Iran and South Africa … This book offers a new and important transregional perspective on Islam in nineteenth-century India and the Indian Ocean.'
