Faraizi Revolt

The Faraizi Revolts took place in Bengal between 1838 and 1857. The name 'Farazi' means 'duty of Islam'. The Faraizi Revolts were similar to the Mappila Revolts that broke out in Bengal during the time of the Mappila Revolts. The Faraizi Revolt was one of the earliest revolts by the Muslim population of Bengal against the British. The British and the local landowners suppressed the revolt.
