Explanation

  • The Faraizis were the followers of a Muslim sect founded by Haji Shariat-Allah of Faridpur in Eastern Bengal.
  • They advocated radical religious, social and political changes and were reformist in tone. Shariat-Allah’s son Dadu Mian (1819-60) organised his followers with an aim to expel the English intruders from Bengal.
