Reliving Karbala: Martyrdom in South Asian Memory
Hyder, Syed Akbar (Department of Asian Studies, Department of Asian Studies, University of Texas at Austin)
In 680 CE, the prophet Muhammad's grandson, Husain, led a small band of followers in rebellion against the caliph, Yazid. Husain and his followers were slain at Karbala leading to the split between Sunni and Shiite Muslims. This book traces the development of the story from the earliest historical sources to the beginning of the 21st century.
