First Indian Freedom Movement, Muslim's Wahabi Movement
Muslim's Wahabi Movement, First Indian Freedom Movement
The Wahabi Movement was a part of the Indian freedom struggle as it offered a serious threat to British supremacy in India in the 19th century. The movement was led by Syed Ahmed Barelvi, who was greatly influenced by the teaching of Abdul Wahab of Arabia and the preaching of Delhi saint Shah Walliullah. The Wahabi Movement essentially condemned all changes and innovations to Islam. It was a revivalist movement which held that the return to the true spirit of Islam was the only way to get rid of the socio- political oppression.Wednesday 11 January 2017

Tourism brings outsiders to the village, but fishing remains the main focus of the economy.
