Abstract

South Asians adopted Imami, or Twelver, Shi’ism in great numbers, mostly after the Safavid conquest of Persia in the first decade of the 16th century. Many Persians had emigrated to southern India during the Mongol period (13-14th centuries), and when Imami Shi’ism became the state religion of Persia in the 16th century they tended to adopt the new creed. Shi’ism was also spread by later Persian immigrants, including nobles, merchants, and ’olama?, and by indigenous sayyeds (those claiming descent from the Prophet Mo?ammad) and Shi’ite Sufis. As the Persian immigrants tended to become bureaucrats and landholders, they were in a position to promote their beliefs through patronage. Shi’ites probably now constitute about 5 percent of Indian Muslims.
