Understanding the Bhakti Movement | Prof. Rameshwar Prasad Bahuguna

A scholar with a remarkable academic journey spanning over four decades, Professor Bahuguna brings to this platform a rare combination of historical depth, pedagogical commitment, and administrative vision. He retired from the Department of History and Culture at Jamia Millia Islamia, where he not only served as Head of Department but also helped shape the Department of Tourism, Hospitality and Heritage Studies, and led the Centre for Distance and Online Education during critical years of digital transition. Prof. Bahuguna’s research delves deep into the religious and socio-cultural histories of pre-modern India — exploring how Bhakti and Sufi traditions interacted, how religious identities were formed in late pre-colonial India, and how tolerance and conflict evolved within India’s spiritual landscape. His work on religious movements, eighteenth-century India, and pre-modern Himalayan kingdoms offers a rich, pluralistic lens through which we can understand both the past and its enduring resonances today. From oral traditions to comparative religion, from the shared histories of the Mughals, Safavids, and Ottomans to environmental history, Professor Bahuguna’s teaching portfolio reflects a commitment to bridging the local with the global, and the textual with the lived. In an era of reductive readings and sensationalist narratives, his scholarship stands as a testament to careful, contextual, and empathetic history-writing.
