A revelatory financial history showing that today's massive Islamic finance industry was preceded by decades of Muslim interest banking across Eurasia and Africa. Since the 1970s, the now multi-trillion-dollar Islamic finance industry has offered interest-free banking to Muslims around the world. Its proponents maintain that Islamic law strictly forbids all forms of financial interest. Many academic accounts echo this perspective, assuming that before the 1970s, Muslims either avoided interest banking out of deep-seated religious hostility or practiced it in defiance of religious stricture. Yet as Michael O'Sullivan argues, these narratives overlook rich traditions of Muslim interest banking that preceded Islamic finance. In the early twentieth century, the first modern Muslim-owned interest banks appeared across Eurasia and Africa-from India to the Ottoman Empire, Tsarist Russia, Habsburg Bosnia, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Palestine, and Indonesia. Viewed as a solution to Muslim economic distress, these banks intensified debates among Muslims about both the Islamic legal tradition and acceptable economic practices. While interest banks raised suspicions among some Islamic legal scholars, others explicitly defended their legality and encouraged Muslim entrepreneurs. Ultimately, O'Sullivan shows that the Islamic finance industry's commitment to interest-free banking was a product of contingency as much as principle. It was a combination of bank failures, high rates of indebtedness, and changing religious interpretations that eventually led many Muslims to reject interest banking and demand a replacement more commensurate with an "Islamic economy." Even so, the religious debates inaugurated by the first Muslim interest banks persist to this day. A vibrant portrait of economic life in the so-called peripheries of capital, The Borrower's Refuge is a major contribution to the global history of finance.

Muslim Interest Banking Before Islamic Finance

The Borrower’s Refuge

Critically examining the prevalent belief that microcredit alleviates poverty and enhances borrowers' self-esteem, Microcredit Misallocation? Social Expenditure Patterns Among Poor Borrowers transcends corporate requirements to recognize the social obligations and non-commercial needs of impoverished borrowers. In this book, Rao empirically analyses the data of borrowers in Telangana, India, who obtained loans from a public sector bank branch in Hyderabad and a state-operated microfinance institution (MFI) in rural Balapur, to evaluate their actual loan usage compared to intended income-generating activity. The principal findings reveal that debtors consistently prioritize their immediate obligations, with a considerable share of the loans being allocated to sustenance, festivals, and children's marriages, whereas health and food constitute lower percentages owing to the availability of free services. Other factors, such as the loan's intended use, the borrower's dependency ratio, oversight, and attitudes towards repayment also affect such loan diversion. Providing crucial insights for bankers, practitioners, and policymakers, the results indicate that inadequate evaluation of borrowers' holistic economic, social, and sustenance requirements, coupled with swift technological advancements, propel microcredit misallocation-related behaviour. MFIs must formulate improved strategies and policies informed by these variables to optimize resource utilization and attain long-term financial stability for small-scale borrowers.

From the Women's Prize-longlisted author of Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line comes a stunning historical novel about two outsiders who venture into the Forbidden Kingdom of Tibet, both driven by a motive they are desperate to keep secret

In 1869, the mountainous territory of Tibet is closed to foreigners, an infuriating obstacle to Europeans racing to expand their empires. In response, Britain begins training Indians - permitted to cross borders that white men may not&nbsp;- to undertake illicit, perilous expeditions within Tibet.

Balram is one such surveyor-spy, recruited to guide an English captain on a foolhardy mission. His path will soon cross with that of another unlikely explorer, Katherine. Fleeing a life of frustrated ambition, belittled by her male peers, Katherine has a plan to secure her legacy as the first European woman to reach Lhasa and the legendary Potala Palace.&nbsp;

As they battle to survive, Balram and Katherine face storms and bandits, snow leopards and soldiers, fevers and frostbite. But nothing is more dangerous than the secrets that snap at their heels, in this unforgettable story about the obsessions of the colonial enterprise, and the ways we endeavour to leave a mark on the world.

Forensic Accounting and Financial Shenanigans Detection

Malti Patel is absolutely fine. Concussed and bruised, maybe, but fine. Certainly fine enough to not need her daughter's soon-to-be-ex-husband, Nathan Whitlock, playing nurse in her home while she recuperates. And yet her doctor insists on in-home supervision for seven days, and with her daughter, Kavya, studying in India, Nathan proves too much of a do-gooder to let Malti rehabilitate alone. They want nothing to do with one another. But over the course of the week, as Malti grapples with the shadows of her past and Nathan ponders the wreckage of his marriage, they learn that they are the two people who know Kavya best - and the ones who have hurt her so deeply that she's left them both entirely. Rich with emotional depth, Some People paints a nuanced portrait of love, forgiveness and our timeless quest for understanding and acceptance.

Some People

This book provides a novel judicial framework for receiving and considering religious and cultural claims in shaping human rights in constitutional secular democracies. It does this through an extended case study of the Indian constitutional jurisprudence. Abortion and surrogacy, LGBTQ + rights, sex work and euthanasia are arguably the most controversial human rights issues of our time. They all invite passionate religious and cultural debate but are not themselves religious or cultural rights issues. Instead, they pose a fundamental constitutional question: How far can religion and culture go in shaping general human rights in secular constitutional democracies? Moving beyond the logic of individual rights, this book provides an integrated and holistic approach to answering this classic question of constitutional law. To do this, it proposes an innovative empirically backed normative-theoretical framework which synthesises insights from cultural psychoanalysis, feminist legal scholarship, socio-legal method, constitutional law, evidence law, and political theory. It looks at a unique constellation of cases belonging to eight different human rights themes covering the period since India's independence in 1947 and systematically analyses the religious and cultural claims made in those cases. It finds that in India, a more holistic approach to answering our classic constitutional puzzle requires a simultaneous consideration of three different theories: A theory of constitutional interpretation which formulates restrictions on a judge considering religious and cultural claims in fundamental rights cases; A theory of judicial notice which determines when such claims can be admitted without proof; A theory of secularism and public reason which argues that the claims must be given weight in the final decision only if they match defensible conceptions of constitutional values. The book develops these theories and applies them to the Indian cases, providing an innovative approach to an age-old question.
