This book explores the religious aspects of Van Gujjar identity. In the context of forest conservation discourse, local government efforts to relocate the Gujjars outside Rajaji National Park (RNP) in Uttarakhand, India, have been crucial in the Gujjar choice to associate with NGOs and Deobandi Muslims. Based on documents and interviews, this detailed study explores both the continuing expansion of Islamic Deobandi reform and the responses of indigenous groups such as the Gujjars. It points towards the role of Islam in integrating marginal groups within wider society in South Asia.The religious identity of indegenous Gujjars in the Himilayan region remains largely unexplored. This book argues that their choice to associate with Deobandi Islam occurs in the wider context of conservation debates, local government-led efforts to relocate them from the Rajaji National Park in Uttarakhand, India, and the failure of NGOs to represent their interests. Based on documents and interviews, this detailed work explores both the continuing expansion of Deobandi reform and the responses of the Gujjars. It points toward the role of Islam in integrating marginal groups in South Asia.
