Faraidi ( or Faraizi) movement (1804): It was founded by Haji Shariatullah of village Bahadurpur in Faridpur district, Bengal. The movement had emphasis on strict monotheism and to remove un-Islamic practices from the Muslim society as well as to revive and restore Muslim rule once again by expelling the Christians from India. His successors Dudu Mian and Nowa Mian successfully mobilized the Muslim peasants of central and eastern Bengal against the zamindars and money lenders who were mostly Hindus and the indigo planters who were British. Finally, the movement was suppressed by the Bengal government after a series of arrests, trials and persecutions.
