要旨:
In the early decades of the twentieth century in colonial India, the development of education, the expansion of electoral politics, and the decennial censuses led many communities (or “caste groups”) to organize collectively to foster internal solidarity and assert themselves in the public sphere. Muslims also participated in this new associationism and, among them, Sayyids—a privileged status group that claims descent from Prophet Muhammad—also formed their organizations. This presentation delineates three “associational models” that Muslim caste groups can draw upon—the anjuman, the jami‘at, and the association. To bring out the differences in these ideal types, I compare the foundation and evolution of three Sayyid organizations in South Asia (Pakistan, North India, and South India). The comparison has two principal aims: bringing out implicit notions of social and religious distinction among Sayyids; and drawing broader conclusions about associational models for Muslims. Thus, by examining Sayyids organizations, I hope to contribute more broadly to a better understanding of the associational life of caste among South Asian Muslims.
