Sumario:This papers explores various types of adherence to Islam in the Indian sub-continent during the Colonial period, taking as a case-study Sindh, an area corresponding to the Delta of Indus. The starting hypothesis is that the use of specific languages, either classical (Arabic and Persian) or vernacular (Sindhi dialects) corresponded to types of local knowledge without being hermetic. The paper evaluates the role of various languages in the construction of religious identities, and later in the nationalist movements that led to the birth of India and Pakistan in 1947.
