This dissertation rethinks the common center-periphery perspective which frames the Middle East as the seat of authoritative religious reasoning vis-a-vis a marginal South Asian Islam. Drawing on 15 months of archival research and interviews conducted in Pakistan, India, Iran, Iraq, and the United Kingdom, I demonstrate how Shi'i and Sunni religious scholars ('ulama) in colonial India and Pakistan negotiate a complex web of closeness and distance that connects them to eminent Muslim jurists residing in the Arab lands and Iran. The project attempts to move beyond scholarly paradigms that investigate the transnational travel of ideas in terms of either resistance and rejection, on the one hand, or wholesale adoption, on the other. Rather, I show how local South Asian scholars occupy a creative and at times disruptive role as brokers, translators, and self-confident pioneers of modern and contemporary Islamic thought.

520 $a Relying on unexplored sources in Urdu, Arabic, and Persian, the dissertation examines these dynamics through the lenses of sectarianism, reform, and religious authority. It demonstrates how Indian Shi'is in the 1940s were haunted by the specter of Pakistan as a potentially exclusively Sunni state. These substantial cleavages resurfaced in the wake of the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Khomeini's model of the Rule of the Jurisprudent led sectarian Deobandis to frame Shi'is as detrimental to their vision of creating a model Sunni Islamic polity which was supposed to fulfil the promise of Pakistan. In the context of internal Shi'i debates, I pay close attention to modernist challenges to Lucknow's Shi'i clerical establishment in the late colonial period. Building on this conflict, I discuss how both reformist 'ulama and their traditionalist, esoteric critics sought to appropriate the authority of leading Iranian and Iraqi Ayatollahs in order to emphasize their faithfulness to the Shi'i mainstream. Both groups advanced their own, diverging vision of how to achieve a rapprochement with the Sunni majority. The question of religious authority also plays a central role during the succession struggle after the death of a major "Source of Emulation" (marja' al-taqlid). I highlight the ability of Pakistani scholars to acquire religious clout during such periods of uncertainty. Similar agency is reflected in the unique ways in which Pakistan's Shi'is gradually made sense of the Iranian Revolution and how they filtered its transnational implications through the prism of their local religious needs.
