Hmm Interesting. Just came across a good link regarding Deobandis. I was actually trying to understand the biggest Islamic school in my Country and came across this Interesting Stat.
Deobandis and Barelvis are the two major groups of Muslims in the Subcontinent apart from the Shia. Barelvi Hanafis deem Deobandis to be kaafir. Those hostile to the Barelvis deprecated them as the shrine-worshipping, the grave-worshiping, ignorant Barelvis. Much smaller sects in Pakistan include the Ahl-e-Hadees and Ahl-e-Tashee. The non-Pakhtun population of Pakistan is predominantly Barelvi. The stronghold of Barelvism remains Punjab, the largest province of Pakistan. By one estimate, in Pakistan, the Shias are 18%, ismailis 2%, Ahmediyas 2%, Barelvis 50%, Deobandis 20%, Ahle Hadith 4%, and other minorities 4%. The Ahle-e-Hadith is a small group of Sunni Muslims in India who do not consider themselves bound by any particular school of law and rely directly on the Prophet's Sunnah. By another estimate some 15 per cent of Pakistan's Sunni Muslims would consider themselves Deobandi, and some 60 per cent, are in the Barelvi tradition based mostly in the province of Punjab. But some 64 per cent of the total seminaries are run by Deobandis, 25 per cent by the Barelvis, six percent by the Ahle Hadith and three percent by various Shiite organisations.
Barelvi Islam
Now things become very clear. Ultimately its bout Deobandi vs Barelvi. Historically, Deobandis had always been pro-India even before independence and Barelvis were pro Pakistan. Infact, Thats what Maulana Madani, the Deobandi Chief has officially said. But it was a shocker for me to see even tough Barelvis are in Majority, The schools run in majority are by Deobandis even in Pakistan.
Frankly, where there is confusion and misguidance, comman junta suffers. Sunnis are divided among so many sub sects and every sect has its own seperate line of thot and teachings. Bloody, another version of castism typical of Sub Continent.
Dont understand why is it necessary for every Tom Dick or Harry coming out whith his own thot line and end up revolting leading to even more sub sects.
