Sufism in India
The kind of Shiism that one finds in South Asia is primarily what we refer to as Ishmaeli Shiism, or Severnar Shiism. A Sufi in India will look a lot more like a Christian mystic than he will look like a Sufi in Macedonia. There's not a lot of music and dancing in the religious ceremony; it's not part of the religious ceremony. Whereas Ishmaelis will have vazal's, these sort of songs that are very spiritual. And they'll have concerts that will go on for hours and hours and hours where people will be dancing and falling into an ecstatic state. Very much looks like Sufism, you know.
