Religion, Orientalism and Modernity. Mahdi Movements of Iran and South Asia, Paperback/Geoffrey Nash

Geoffrey Nash explores the emergence of the revolutionary Babis and reformist Baha'is and their conflict with mainstream Shi'a Muslims in Iran, and of the parallel Ahmadi movement in North India. Comparing these movements shows that, together, they define important aspects of Islamic modernity.
