Answer:

A. Farasi movement

Read Explanation:

  • Haji Shahariyathulla and his followers founded the Faraizi Movement in the early 19th century in Bengal.

  • It was an Islamic reform movement that aimed to purify Islam by removing un-Islamic practices and ensuring strict adherence to Faraiz (obligatory duties in Islam).

  • Founded by Haji Shariatullah in 1818, the movement was particularly strong among rural peasants in Bengal.

  • It opposed British rule, zamindari oppression, and Hindu influences on Islamic practices.

  • After Haji Shariatullah's death, his son Dudu Miyan continued the movement and transformed it into a peasant resistance movement against landlords and British authorities.
