Muslim shrines, or known as keramat in Malay - are the graves of figures who came to be venerated because of their notable piety, knowledge, or acts. 

They are popular sites of prayer and dot the social and physical landscapes of much of Muslim Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean region as a whole. The term refers to both people as well as their burial sites. 

Historically, keramat drew people of different ethnic and religious backgrounds. While the venerated dead also came from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, histories, and faiths, they were usually Muslim and frequently Hadrami (from the Hadramaut region in Yemen). 

In this lecture, Sumit Mandal will illustrate the background of his study, "Popular Sites of Prayer, Transoceanic Migration, and Cultural Diversity: Exploring the significance of keramat in Southeast Asia" to give us a bigger picture of the significant diversity and other contemplations posed by keramat. You can download his paper here: https://www.academia.edu/24504908/Popular_Sites_of_Prayer_Transoceanic_Migration_and_Cultural_Diversity_Exploring_the_significance_of_keramat_in_Southeast_Asia

Sumit Mandal is a historian at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus. He works on transnational histories and has an interest in cultural geographies of the Malay world — especially its connectedness to the Indian Ocean. He is concerned with the ways in which cultural diversity and notions of insider/outsider are constituted. He has published recently in the following journals: Philological Encounters (2016) and Citizenship Studies (2014).

Imagined Malaysia
Imagined Malaysia is intended to be a research project based on the alternative history of Malaysia and Southeast Asia. We hope to participate in the efforts of creating public awareness and education about the differing narratives and stories that may be omitted from official/master history. This is to not only change our understanding of the nation’s history, but to also deepen and evolve it to have a more inclusive and rich discourse.
