Answer:
There has been much debate among scholars over the nature of the state in mediaeval India.
Explanation:
- According to Ishwari Parsad, the state in mediaeval India was a theocracy like other Muslim regimes. Both Pope and Caesar served as the king.
- However, the tenets of Shariat placed limits on his power. His system of government was centred on religion, and the Ulemas dominated society.
- The Muslim state is organised, but the key component of a theocracy—the authority of an ordained priesthood—is absent; the judges are laypeople who make no claim to sacramental exemption from mistake.
- Gibb is correct to label the Islamic approach as theocentric.
Nearly all academics agree that the mediaeval Indian state was governed according to Sharia law.
