Beyond Belief: Islamic Excursions Among the Converted Peoples
V S Naipaul
Beyond Belief: Islamic Excursions Among the Converted Peoples - New York Random House 1998 - xiii,408 p. HB 24x17 cm.
Naipaul draws a distinction between Arab countries and the countries of "converted peoples" where the adoption of Islam involves to some extent the adoption of Arabic culture. The book describes his five-month journey in 1995 revisiting four Muslim countries: Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan and Malaysia.
Naipaul takes the view that "The British period--two hundred years in some places, less than a hundred years in others--was a time of Hindu regeneration." https://www.pinterest.com/pin/609041549592493600/
