Deobandi movement in Bangladesh




The Deobandi movement is a school of Islamic thought that originated in the town of Deoband, India in the mid-19th century. The movement emphasizes the importance of Islamic law and the traditional practices of the Prophet Muhammad, and seeks to purify and reform Islamic practice.

In Bangladesh, the Deobandi movement has had a significant presence since the early 20th century. Many madrasas (Islamic seminaries) in Bangladesh follow the Deobandi school of thought, and the movement has a strong influence on the country's religious and political landscape.

One of the most prominent Deobandi organizations in Bangladesh is the Bangladesh Khelafat Andolan, which seeks to establish an Islamic state in the country. The organization has been involved in various political and social movements, and has sometimes been accused of promoting extremism and violence.

Another notable Deobandi organization in Bangladesh is the Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh, which has gained prominence in recent years for its protests against the government and its calls for the implementation of Islamic law. The group has also been accused of promoting intolerance and violence against minority groups in the country.

Overall, the Deobandi movement in Bangladesh has played a significant role in shaping the country's religious and political landscape, and its influence continues to be felt in many areas of society.
