520    How did Islam come to India? Why is this question of such 
       great significance to formations of political thought in 
       South Asia? This book examines the longue dureé history--
       from the early thirteenth century to the twenty-first--of 
       a particular text, Chachnama, written in Uch Sharif. The 
       Book of Chach (Chachnama) was written in 1226 CE and 
       provided an account, in Persian, of the 712 CE conquest of
       Sind by the armies of Muhammad bin Qasim. This early 
       regional history became the foundation for British 
       colonial efforts to cast Muslim rule in India as one of 
       despotic foreigners--a rule to be replaced by the 
       benevolent British one. Asif explores an interconnected 
       Indian Ocean geography which linked sailors, merchants, 
       and literati across divisions of religion and polities. In
       Chachnama, we find one of the earliest articulation of a 
       political theory that was demonstrably polyglossic, 
       multivalent, and deeply embedded in both the Indic and the
       Islamic ethos. This examination of Chachnama informs a 
       reconstruction of a intermingled political world at the 
       heart of the text--a world that is subsequently recast by 
       colonial historiography in terms of stark difference alone
       : Muslim invaders versus Hindu subjects. This work is a 
       bold rearticulation of a medieval imagination that 
       reconciled power and politics in ways that appear 
       incongruous to our present day politics. It takes aim at 
       the fundamental way in which the modern state of Pakistan 
       imagines itself--as a polity ideologically founded in "712
       A.D." by the "First Citizen" Muhammad bin Qasim, and has 
       implications for our contemporary understanding of 
       religious difference and theologically based nationalisms.
