This project maps Sufi shrines in Sri Lanka against the backdrop of a post-civil war and growing Buddhist-Sinhala majoritarianism that have impacted numerous minority communities, including Tamils and Muslims. Sufi Muslims’ piety presents a generative prism through which to understand this political, social, and religious context. Tombs to 40 feet long Sufi saints (or giants) dot the island and are believed to be descendants from prophetic times while shrines to women saints draw women from across religious and ethnic communities, such the Nachia saint who disappeared into a cave while being chased by colonial assaulters. Stories of Sufi saints that are sustained at shrines then rupture notions of linear time and space on an island where Muslim communities have not been recognized in the colonial or state archives and continue experience state and communal violence. Stories of saints then embed the islands’ geography within cosmological and metaphysical roots and routes, and the pious acts that unfold at saint’s shrines evade and resist the political oppression of Muslims, in effect summoning religious pasts to survive in troubled presents in the hopes of thriving in Sufi futures.
