Who among the orientalists can tell you about the Nizārī Ismā’īlī mission in the Indian Subcontinent with utmost historical conviction? Owing to the paucity of authentic historical documents, scholars have generally kept their face turned towards the Ismā’īlī history outside of the boundaries of South Asian regions. Books on the Nizārī Ismā’īlī mission in the Indian Subcontinent are published rarely. In fact, one would find no more than 5 to 10 scholarly books on the aforementioned subject. Thus, it is worth stressing on this juncture that books like “Ismaili Pirs, Vakils and Sayeds” are worth reviewing academically. Precisely speaking, in this review I would analyze and evaluate the content, structure, research methodology etc of the book “Ismaili Pirs, Vakils and Sayeds” by Mumtaz Ali Tajddin Sadik Ali (A writer from the Ismā’īlī community).

从帕坦岛到卡拉奇：印度次大陆的尼扎里·伊斯马里伊利特派团。“南亚地区伊斯玛莉派斯，瓦克尔人和赛义德人”的评论

在东方主义者中，谁能以最大的历史信念告诉您有关印度次大陆的尼扎里·伊斯玛里的使命？由于缺乏真实的历史文献，学者们普遍将其面孔转向南亚地区边界以外的伊斯玛里历史。关于在印度次大陆上的尼扎里·伊斯玛里任务的书籍很少出版。实际上，发现上述主题的学术书籍不超过5到10本。因此，在此时刻值得强调的是，诸如“伊斯玛莉·皮尔斯，瓦克尔和赛义德”之类的书值得在学术上进行评论。确切地说，在这篇评论中，我将分析和评估Mumtaz Ali Tajddin Sadik Ali（来自Ismā'īlī社区的作家）的著作《 Ismaili Pirs，Vakils和Sayeds》的内容，结构，研究方法等。
