ABSTRACT
This chapter tries to elaborate the points which have been made in previous chapters and recapitulates the main line of arguments of this study. More specifically, the three research questions — the clash between the modern idea of monument and traditional Indo-Islamic modes of commemoration, the contested nature of an Indian Muslim architectural heritage and the placing of historic sites in the Muslim political discourse — which have already been examined, are reassessed to develop a few specific arguments on contemporary Muslim politics.
