How did you manage all this research during lockdown?My first and most intensive period of fieldwork was in 1999-2000, in London, Malta and Mumbai. I was at the Gateway of India for the millennium celebrations, and remember watching the first sunrise of the third millennium at the lakeside in Borivali. I have since been to India six more times, and the results of that work are contained in my scholarly writing.

In ways more than one, Abkar Ali Samandar is chosen: by God, by family, and by faith. In Prodigal, Irshad Abdulkadir presents a microcosm of the eternal struggle - one man, many callings. Akbar is torn between education and dogma, between faith and people, between his duty to god and that to his fellow man. Like the blind seeker, he stumbles in the quest of that which he cannot see. Ricocheting between the classrooms of Cambridge, a madrassa in Karachi and the monastic lessons at Dar-ul Aman, Akbar’s quest is reminiscent…
