The Deobandi movement or Deobandism is a revivalist movement within Sunni Islam that adheres to the Hanafi school of law. It was formed in the late 19th century around the Darul Uloom Madrassa in Deoband,India,from which the name derives,by Muhammad Qasim Nanautavi,Rashid Ahmad Gangohi,Ashraf Ali Thanwi and Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri after the Indian Rebellion of 1857–58. They opposed the influence of non-Muslim cultures on the Muslims living in South Asia. The movement pioneered education in religious sciences through the Dars-i-Nizami associated with the Lucknow-based ulama of Firangi Mahal with the goal of preserving traditional Islamic teachings from the influx of modernist and secular ideas during British colonial rule. The Deobandi movement's Indian clerical wing,Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind,was founded in 1919 and played a major role in the Indian independence movement through its participation in the Pan-Islamist Khilafat movement and propagation of the doctrine of composite nationalism.
The Darul Uloom Deoband is an Islamic seminary in India at which the Sunni Deobandi Islamic movement began. Uttar Pradesh-based Darul Uloom is one of the most important Islamic seminaries in India and the largest in the world. It is located in Deoband,a town in Saharanpur district,Uttar Pradesh. The seminary was established by Muhammad Qasim Nanautavi,Fazlur Rahman Usmani,Sayyid Muhammad Abid and others in 1866. Mahmud Deobandi was the first teacher and Mahmud Hasan Deobandi was the first student.
Mahmud Hasan Deobandi was an Indian Muslim scholar and an activist of the Indian independence movement,who co-founded the Jamia Millia Islamia University and launched the Silk Letter Movement for the freedom of India.

Initiating his vocation as the first principal of Madrasa Aminia,he embarked on a hajj in 1906 with a sojourn in Medina,dedicated to exploring the depths of hadith literature. Subsequently,he joined Darul Uloom Deoband,serving as the post of Sheikh al-Hadith for nearly thirteen years before choosing Jamia Islamia Talimuddin as his final destination for his academic voyage. Although he displayed limited inclination toward the written word,a handful of treatises flowed from his pen. Yet,the bulk of his literary legacy has been preserved through the efforts of his students,who transcribed his classroom lectures,discourses,and sermons. While the crux of his scholarly work centered on championing the Hanafi school and establishing its supremacy,he also garnered recognition for his comparatively liberal approach to various religious matters.
