Delhi
330 .. $a In the ruins of a medieval palace in Delhi, a unique phenomenon occurs: Indians of
all castes and creeds meet to socialize and ask the spirits for help. The spirits
they entreat are Islamic jinns, and they write out requests as if petitioning the
state. At a time when a Hindu right wing government in India is committed to normalizing
a view of the past that paints Muslims as oppressors, Anand Vivek Taneja's Jinnealogy
provides a fresh vision of religion, identity, and sacrality that runs counter to
state-sanctioned history. The ruin, Firoz Shah Kotla, is an unusually democratic religious
space, characterized by freewheeling theological conversations, DIY rituals, and the
sanctification of animals. Taneja observes the visitors, who come mainly from the
Muslim and Dalit neighborhoods of Delhi, and uses their conversations and letters
to the jinns as an archive of voices so often silenced. He finds that their veneration
of the jinns recalls pre-modern religious traditions in which spiritual experience
was inextricably tied to ecological surroundings. In this enchanted space, Taneja
encounters a form of popular Islam that is not a relic of bygone days, but a vibrant
form of resistance to state repression and post-colonial visions of India.--Publisher
