In response to these changes, Indian Muslim artisans began publicly asserting the deep relation between their religion and their labor, using the increasingly accessible popular press to redefine Islamic traditions \"from below.\" Centering the stories and experiences of metalsmiths, stonemasons, tailors, press workers, and carpenters, \u003ci\u003ePious Labor\u003c\/i\u003e examines colonial-era social and technological changes through the perspectives of the workers themselves. As Amanda Lanzillo shows, the colonial marginalization of these artisans is intimately linked with the continued exclusion of laboring voices today. By drawing on previously unstudied Urdu-language technical manuals and community histories, Lanzillo highlights not only the materiality of artisanal production but also the cultural agency of artisanal producers, filling in a major gap in South Asian history.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe history of technology in South Asia has mostly been devoted to the 'temples of modernity, ' accenting the monumental, the secular, and the modern.
