N2  - This book examines the protection, maintenance, and development of awqāf (Islamic endowments) in India, with special reference to Rajasthan. It discusses their historical role, legal framework, administrative challenges, and issues like encroachment and mismanagement. While highlighting the social potential of awqāf, it stresses that weak governance and inadequate protection limit their impact, and calls for reforms, stronger oversight, and active community involvement to ensure their effective development
