Summary:	Narrative Pasts reconstructs the literary, social and historical world of Sufi preceptors, disciples, and descendants in Gujarat from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century. This book departs from the narrow state-centered visions of the Muslim past and integrates Gujarat's sultanate and Mughal past to the larger socio-cultural histories of Islamic South Asia.
