    BRITISH INDIAN VIEWS

    (NINETEENTH

    AND

    EARLY

    TWENTIETH

    CENTURIES) OF THE LATER FOLLOWERS OF THE RAUXANIYYA

    SECT

    IN

    AFGHANISTAN

    AND NORTHERN

    INDIA

    By Sergei Andreyev

    Oxford

    The

    Rau'ini

    movement,

    which

    spanned

    the

    period

    from the second half of the sixteenth

    century

    to the first four

    decades

    of the seventeenth

    century,

    flourished

    in

    Afghanistan

    and

    Northern

    India.

    The movement

    had a dramatic

    impact

    on

    the

    cultural and social

    life

    of

    the

    mediaeval

    Pashtun tribes. The Rauxani movement was

    headed for

    many

    years

    by

    Bayazid

    Ansari, also

    called

    Pir-i

    Raux'in

    ( Light

    Mentor / Mentor

    of

    Light ) by

    his followers

    and

    Pir-i

    Tirik

    ( Dark

    Mentor / Mentor of

    Darkness )

    by

    his

    adversaries,

    and

    this is

    what

    gave

    the movement its name.

    This

    movement can be considered as the

    strongest

    upsurge

    of the

    original

    Pashtun

    thought,

    which was

    extremely

    free and

    radical.1

    The

    Raux'niyya

    are still almost

    unstudied.

    Since

    1810,

    when the first article on the Raux'ani move-

    ment

    was

    published by John Leyden,

    a few scholars

    have written about the

    movement,

    mainly

    repeat-

    ing

    the

    ideas and data contained

    in the first ever

    article on the

    problem. Leyden's

    article,

    as

    well

    as

    the works of his

    successors,

    was based

    mainly

    on

    mediaeval Indian sources written

    in

    Persian,

    with

    some examination of Akhiind Darwiza's

    books,

    while the

    writings

    of the followers of the

    Rau'aini

    sect

    itself

    remained

    unstudied. The first scholars

    who

    began

    to use Rau*dini sources were

    Kh. A.

    Nizami

    (Nizami,

    1960; Nizami,

    1989),

    S.A.A. Rizvi

    (Rizvi,

    1961; Rizvi,

    1965-8),

    Muhammed Shafi

    (Shafi, 1961)

    and

    Tariq

    Ahmed

    (Tariq

    Ahmed,

    1982).

    However,

    they

    have

    concentrated

    on

    the

    study

    of the

    Hadlnama-yi Bayazid

    Raushdn

    (also

    known as

    Hdlndma-yi

    Pir-i

    Dastgir

    or

    Hadlnama-yi

    Bayazid

    Ansdari)

    y

    'Ali

    Muhammad

    Mukhlis,

    a

    biog-

    raphy

    of

    Bayazid

    Ansarli

    and his descendants

    in

    Persian,

    having

    left aside the Pashto sources. None

    of these historians has

    given

    an account of the later

    followers of

    the

    Raultini

    creed. Scholars

    working

    in

    modern

    Afghanistan

    and Pakistan

    concentrate

    on

    the mediaeval

    history

    of

    the

    movement,

    its

    doctrine and

    literary heritage,

    and do not even

    mention

    its later followers.

    There is no direct evidence for the survival of

    followers of the

    Rau'iini

    doctrine after the

    general

    defeat

    of the

    Rauaini

    movement in the first half of

    the seventeenth

    century.

    The

    only

    original

    sources

    which

    contain

    some

    indirect information of rele-

    vance are

    the

    Tadhkirat al-Abrdr

    wa'

    1-Ashrar

    by

    Akhuind Darwiza2 and the

    Tdrikh-i

    Murassa'

    by

    Afzal Khan Khaffak.3

    However,

    it is

    possible

    to

    find

    some

    relevant

    information

    in

    British Indian

    sources of the late

    nineteenth-early

    twentieth centuries. Later

    British

    data on the followers of the Raux'ani doctrine are

    very

    controversial,4

    since British Indian

    officials

    were

    in

    the main not familiar with

    the

    history

    of

    the

    Rauaini

    movement and did not

    focus on this

    specific problem.

    However,

    given

    the

    considerable

    amount

    of

    information

    provided

    on this

    subject

    in

    administrative

    reports,

    it seems

    possible

    to assume

    that this

    problem

    was

    regarded

    as rather

    important.

    In

    the absence

    of

    evidence based on modern

    field-work,

    the

    problem

    of later

    adherents

    of

    the

    Rau'ini sect has to be left at

    present

    unsolved.

    Some British colonial sources

    (Ibbetson,

    1883;

    Ridgway,

    1910;

    Gazetteer

    of

    the Peshawar

    District,

    1898)

    tried to associate the Shiah

    groups

    of the

    Orakzai,

    Bangash

    and

    Turi

    tribes

    of

    Pashtuns5 with

    the

    Raux'ini

    doctrine.

    The

    Pashtuns are known to be

    mainly

    Sunnites.

    At the end of the nineteenth

    century,

    however,

    there were

    10,591

    Shiites counted

    in

    the Koh-t

    dis-

    trict

    (the

    main area of the Orakai and

    Bangash's

    residence

    [S.A.]).6

    They

    were

    confined

    to a

    portion

    of Samilzai and

    Hangii

    (administrative

    units in the

    Kohait

    district

    [S.A.])

    and to

    the

    adjoining region

    of

    Tirdih.

    The Orakzai clans of the

    Shiah faith

    belonged

    to the

    Muhammad

    Khel

    tribe.

    They

    were

    the

    following:

    the

    Sipaihs*

    or

    Sipayas*

    (perhaps

    a

    derivation from

    sipdh

    or

    sipdhi

    [S.A.]),

    Maini

    Khel,

    Bar

    Muhammad

    Khel,

    'Abd al-'Aziz Khel and a

    portion

    of

    'Ali

    Khel,

    Tazi,

    Bar And* and

    Lar

    And*;

    three

    hamsdya

    or

    vassal sections of the Tira-h

    Sturi*

    (alias

    Afzal

    Khel)

    are also

    Shiites

    (Rose,

    1914,

    vol.

    III,

    p.

    177).

    All

    these tribes

    resided

    in

    Tirah

    and

    bordered

    on the

    Shiah

    portion

    of

    Samilzai.

    Rose,

    noted

    that,

    according

    to the tribal

    pedigree,

    all

    people

    of the Shiah

    Muhammad

    Khel

    were descen-

    dants

    of

    Biyazid

    Ans~iri

    (loc. cit.).

    These

    Orakzai

    clans are said to have been

    converted

    by

    the

    Tirih

    Sayyids

    OF

    PERSIAN STUDIES

    century

    (Kohat

    Gazetteer,

    1884,

    p.

    69;

    White

    King,

    1984,

    p.

    151).

    The

    Shiah

    Bangashs

    of

    the

    Samilzai

    clan were

    probably

    converted a little

    earlier,

    but could

    not

    freely

    admit to

    being

    Shiites

    during

    rule from

    Kabul

    (Kohat

    Gazetteer, 1884,

    p.

    69).

    All the

    Bangash

    of

    the

    Upper

    Kur(r)am(a)*

    valley

    and a

    portion

    of

    Samilzai

    and

    Hangui

    were

    Shiites,

    while those of

    the

    Lower

    Kur(r)am(a)*

    and the remainder

    of the

    Kohat

    district were Sunnites

    (Ridgway,

    1910,

    p.

    76).

    All

    the

    Turi

    Pashtuns

    (6,000

    in number

    in

    1910,

    resident

    in

    the

    Kur(r)am(a)*

    valley)

    were

    reported

    to be the

    disciples

    of the

    Tirah

    Shiah

    Sayyids

    (Ridgway,

    1910,

    p.

    159).

    All the

    above-mentioned Orakzai

    Shiah tribes

    were under

    the

    religious

    influence of a

    Sayyid7

    family

    residing

    at

    Kilal*,

    and

    generally

    known as the

    Tirah

    Sayyids.

    The

    Sayyids

    of

    Pir Khel

    and

    Mansuir

    Khe-

    (probably

    the

    Bangash

    clans

    [S.A.)8

    were said

    to be descended from

    Bayazid

    Ansari

    (Pir

    Tarikhi in

    the

    Gazetteer) (Kohat

    Gazetteer, 1884,

    p.

    69).

    Raverty

    stated that the descendants of the famous

    Raua-ani

    poet

    Mirza Khan

    Ansfirl,

    a

    grandson

    of

    the

    founder

    of

    the

    Rau'aini

    movement,

    still

    (sc.

    in

    the second

    half

    of

    the

    nineteenth

    century

    [S.A.])

    dwelt

    in

    the

    Tirah

    district,

    amongst

    the

    clan

    of

    Miyan

    Kheel

    (probably

    the

    Bangash

    clan

    [S.A.]),

    and have the

    repute

    of

    being

    quiet

    and well behaved. There

    is

    generally

    one of

    the

    family

    who follows the life

    of

    an

    ascetic;

    and is

    allowed,

    by

    the

    simple

    people,

    to

    have

    the

    power

    of

    working

    miracles

    (Raverty,

    1978,

    p.

    55).

    However,

    White

    King argued

    that the

    Tirahi

    Sayyids,

    the

    leading

    Shiah

    Sayyid

    clan

    in

    the area

    in

    question,_

    were

    descended

    from a

    Shiah

    priest

    Fakhr-i

    'Alam,

    who

    came

    from

    Gardez

    about the

    middle

    of

    the seventeenth

    century

    and settled

    in

    Kur(r)am(a)*.

    His

    grave

    is in

    Kirman

    (Kur(r)am(a)*),

    and is held in

    much veneration

    by

    the local Shiites.

    Another

    separate

    branch

    of

    Shiah

    Sayyids,

    descen-

    dants of

    Shah

    'Isa

    Bukhari,

    settled

    in

    Marai* from

    Peshawar. There was another

    Family

    of Shiah

    Sayyids,

    known as

    Tal(l)a Nm(a)(n)(d)zi*,

    and

    Muhammad

    Takki

    Nm(a)(n)(d)zi*9

    in

    the

    Bar

    Muhammad

    Khel

    country

    (White

    King,

    1984,

    p.

    150).

    As one can

    see,

    neither

    Bayazid

    Ansari

    nor

    his known

    descendants were mentioned

    by

    White

    King

    among

    the founders of these

    Sayyid

    families.

    The

    only

    information available on the conversion

    of the

    Pashtuns to Shiism

    in the

    Middle

    Ages

    is

    the

    following. During

    the

    reign

    of

    the

    Mughal emperor

    Jahangir

    and ca.

    1620

    A.D.,

    Sayyid

    Mir

    'Aquil

    settled

    in

    the Marai* District with the Bar Muhammad

    Khel

    and converted

    many people

    to Shiism. These

    people

    were driven

    by

    the

    oppressive

    rule

    of

    Malik

    Toi,

    the Khan

    of

    the Orakzais,

    0

    to seek

    asylum

    with

    Mir

    'Aqiil. Consequently,

    Malik

    ToF

    attacked

    Mir

    'Aqiil,

    who was

    slain,

    and whose

    family,

    on their

    ejection

    from

    Tirah,

    settled

    in the

    Samilzai

    valley

    of

    Kohat.

    After a

    time,

    this

    family

    won

    over the

    Mishtis*,

    Mulla Khels

    and

    Shaykhans,

    who,

    with the

    Bar

    Muhammad

    Khel,

    seceded

    from

    the rule of

    the

    Orakzai Khan

    (White

    King,

    1984,

    pp.

    150-1).

    Unfor-

    tunately,

    White

    King

    did

    not mention

    the source

    of

    his

    information;

    perhaps

    he relied on the oral tribal

    tradition,

    as

    many

    other authors often

    did.

    According

    to the Gazetteer

    oJ

    the Kohat District

    (1884)

    there were no

    acknowledged

    members

    of the

    Rau'ani

    sect

    remaining

    (Kohat

    Gazetteer, 1884,

    p.

    70).

    It is

    noteworthy

    that

    White

    King,

    Deputy

    Com-

    missioner

    of

    K6hat

    and

    in

    political

    charge

    of

    the

    Orakzais

    (period

    of service

    1897-1900),

    also never

    mentioned the

    Raujxani

    doctrine

    in

    connection

    with the then

    contemporary

    Orakzais.

    Some authors did not however

    agree

    with the

    statement of the Gazetteer. Ibbetson

    and

    Ridgway

    considered

    the

    contemporary Sayyid,

    Orakzai,

    Bangash

    and Turi Shiites

    as followers of

    the

    Rauxani

    doctrine

    (Ibbetson

    also wrote about a few

    adherents

    of the

    Rauxani

    doctrine scattered

    along

    the

    Trans-Indus

    Salt

    Range

    from the

    Kohat

    District

    to the

    Dera

    Isma'il

    District) (Ibbetson,

    1883,

    p.

    146;

    Ridgway,

    1910,

    p.

    31).

    The authors of the Gazetteer

    of

    the Peshawar

    District

    generally

    supported

    this view:

    At

    the

    present

    time

    (1897-8

    A.D.

    [S.A.])

    its

    [the

    Rau~iani

    sect

    (S.A.)]

    tenets

    are

    professed

    only

    by

    the

    immediate descendants of

    the

    founder

    in

    Tirah

    and

    Kohhat

    and

    by

    some

    of the

    Bangash

    and

    Orakzai.

    The

    ancestors

    of those

    members of the Orakzai

    tribe,

    who are

    popularly

    known as

    Shiites were

    probably

    of this sect.

    (Peshawar

    Gazetteer, 1898,

    p.

    60).

    Accord-

    ing

    to

    Ibbetson,

    these

    people

    were

    rather

    called

    Shiites because

    they

    were

    rejected by

    the Sunnites

    than because

    they

    followed the Shiah

    doctrine

    (Ibbetson,

    1883,

    p.

    147).

    Sir Olaf Caroe

    disagreed

    with the

    previous

    state-

    ments

    and,

    referring

    to his

    experience

    with the

    Orakzai and

    Bangash

    Shiites,

    stated that he had

    never heard this identification

    publicly

    made.

    According

    to

    him,

    there was no

    and either

    the

    Rau3'iani

    religion

    or the

    and

    Isma'-li

    sects,

    with

    which the followers of

    the

    Rauiiani

    movement

    were sometimes associated. Caroe

    admitted that

    the

    final

    discrediting

    of the

    Rauxiani

    movement

    gener-

    ated

    a

    political

    reason for

    covering up

    these

    matters,

    still

    operative

    to some

    extent

    in

    his own

    day;

    moreover,

    even

    if

    the

    suppressed

    followers of

    the

    Rau~aini

    doctrine had taken cover as Shiites in

    the

    Mughal

    times,

    their

    descendants,

    forgetting

    their doctrinal

    origin,

    would have

    tended more

    and

    more to have

    merged

    with the

    general

    Shiah confes-

    sion

    (Caroe,

    1964,

    p.

    202-3).

    According

    to

    Leyden,

    the adherents of

    the

    Rau3aini

    sect,

    who

    still

    existed,

    were confined

    to

    the wildest

    and

    most

    inaccessible

    districts,

    conceal-

    their books

    and their tenets with

    BRITISH INDIAN VIEWS OF THE RAUX2ANIYYA SECT

    IN

    AFGHANISTAN

    AND NORTHERN

    INDIA137

    Amir

    Muhammad,

    a

    native

    informant from Pesha-

    war,

    told

    Leyden

    that some followers of

    Bayazid

    Ansari

    were

    still

    to

    be

    found,

    both in Peshawar and

    Kabul,

    but

    that

    they

    were reckoned

    to

    be

    even more

    numerous

    among

    the Yuisufzai tribes

    (Leyden,

    1810,

    p.

    79).

    However,

    Bellew,

    the

    author

    of

    the detailed

    monograph

    on the Yuisufzai tribe written

    mainly

    from his

    personal

    observation

    and from native

    information,

    argued

    that the

    Rauiiani

    creed

    disap-

    peared among

    the Yuisufzais

    after

    Bayazid

    Ansaari's

    death

    (Bellew,

    1864,

    p.

    73).

    According

    to

    Leyden's

    informant,

    the then

    contemporary

    followers

    of the

    Rauxani doctrine were

    supposed

    to hold

    secret

    meetings

    in

    Peshawar,

    by night,

    in

    an ancient

    edifice,

    with a

    dome,

    where

    Bayazid

    Ansari

    formerly

    resided,

    and at which the

    pious

    Muslims,

    as

    they

    pass by

    the

    ruins,

    generally

    cast stones

    in token of

    their

    abhorrence,

    accompanied by

    fervent

    impre-

    cations

    and

    curses on the founder

    of the

    Rauxani

    movement

    (Leyden,

    1810,

    p.

    79).

    However,

    the

    question

    arises,

    who were these

    contemporary

    followers of the Rauxiini

    sect des-

    cribed

    by

    the

    British

    authors?.

    There is some

    very

    limited

    information

    in

    the

    original

    sources

    about

    different trends

    of the

    Rauxiini

    doctrine

    professed

    by

    the

    YUisufzais,

    who were

    described

    by

    Leyden

    as

    the then

    contemporary

    followers

    of

    the

    Rau'iani

    sect.

    According

    to the

    Tadhkirat al-Abrar

    wa

    'l-Ashradr

    One

    Miyan

    'Isa,

    a

    native

    of Peshawar and follower

    of

    Bayazid,

    alias

    Pir-i

    Tarik,

    the founder

    of the

    Raushani

    heresy,

    went

    to

    Swat

    (the

    main area of the

    Yiisufzais' residence

    [S.A.]),

    and

    preached

    its doc-

    trines with considerable

    success

    amongst

    the

    Yiisufzais.

    Those who became converts to his

    doctrine were called

    'Isa'i.

    (Akhiind

    Darwiza,

    fol.

    80a

    [Plowden's

    translation

    in

    (Plowden, 1893)]).

    Plowden wrote

    in 1893

    that descendants

    of

    this

    'Isa'i

    still resided

    in

    the

    city

    of Peshawar

    (Plowden,

    1893,

    p.

    VI).

    According

    to the later evidence of the Tdrikh-i

    Murassa',

    there

    was a distinct difference between

    the

    genuine Rauxainis

    and

    the

    followers

    of

    'Isa:

    After that

    the

    pride

    and

    impiety

    of

    the YUisufzais

    increased;

    heterodox

    practices

    and sects

    sprung

    up

    among

    them.

    Some,

    together

    with their

    head-men,

    became

    'Isa'i (Christians

    in

    English

    translation

    [S.A.]);

    others followed the tenets

    of Pir-i

    Rauxan,

    whom

    people

    call

    Pir-i

    Tarik.

    (Afial Khain,

    1893,

    p.

    221;

    English

    translation,

    p.

    183).

    This

    is

    the

    only

    information

    available about the

    so-called 'Isa'i

    sect.

    It seems therefore at

    present

    impossible

    to

    define

    any

    more

    closely

    the

    original

    affiliation

    of

    the

    fol-

    lowers

    of

    'Isai

    and their connection with the later

    Raui~inis.

    2 This voluminous

    book

    ascribed

    to

    Akhiind

    Darwiza was

    written in Persian

    in

    1021/1612-13.

    In this

    treatise,

    the

    author

    gives

    an

    account

    of orthodox and heretical

    teachings

    of Darwiza's time. He condemns

    the

    teaching

    of

    Baiyazid

    Ansaari

    and devotes

    a

    special

    section to the

    description

    of the

    Rawifini

    tenets and

    activity

    of the followers of

    the move-

    ment.

    Unfortunately,

    his account

    of the

    Rawxani

    movement

    is

    extremely

    unsystematic

    and even

    contradictory.

    In the

    concluding

    part

    of

    the

    Tadhkirat it is stated

    by

    Darwiza's son

    Mulla

    'Abd

    al-Karim,

    better known

    as

    Karimdad,

    that

    the

    book was dictated to

    him

    by

    Darwiza and

    he wrote it

    down,

    arranged

    the

    text

    in

    proper

    order and

    enti-

    tled it (Darwiza, Tadhkirat, ol. 202b).

    The Tdrikh-i

    Murassa'

    is a voluminous

    history

    of

    the Pashtuns

    written in Pashto

    by

    Afzal

    Khan

    Khaffak

    (lived

    approxi-

    mately

    1072-3/1661-3

    to

    1161/1748),

    a

    grandson

    of

    the

    famous Pashtun

    poet

    and

    warrior

    Khushhal Khan

    Khatfak.

    The narration

    is

    brought up

    to

    the

    year

    1136/1723.

    The

    Rawiiini

    movement

    is mentioned

    in the fifth and sixth

    daftars

    of the book.

    4

    British

    colonial sources

    are

    highly

    accurate

    in

    their

    descrip-

    tions

    of

    geographical

    conditions

    and tribal

    statistics;

    however,

    in the course of historical

    narration

    they

    rely

    mainly

    on oral

    traditions,

    which

    sometimes contradict

    the

    original

    written sources.

    Yet,

    given

    the

    lack

    of

    proven

    data,

    the student

    of

    the Pashtun

    tribal affairs is forced

    to use these

    sources,

    although

    certainly

    with

    a

    reasonable

    degree

    of

    reservation.

    s

    Such modern

    authors as Sir Olaf Caroe and Akbar

    Ahmed

    have confirmed the existence of

    Shiah clans

    among

    various

    Pashtun tribes

    (Ahmed,

    1984,

    pp.

    III, VI, VII,

    X;

    Caroe, 1964,

    pp. 26, 202-3, 308).

    6

    It

    seems

    that

    these

    Shiites were in a difficult

    position living

    among

    their Sunnite

    neighbours.

    Ibbetson wrote: the

    Sunnite Pashtuns

    abominate

    the Shiites

    and all their

    works,

    insomuch that in old

    days

    a man

    hardly

    dare admit that he

    belonged

    to that sect

    (Ibbetson,

    1883,

    p.

    146).

    Perhaps

    this

    tradition of dissimulation

    (taqiyiya)

    s one of

    the

    reasons for

    the

    discrepancy

    in

    defining

    the

    real

    religious

    affiliation

    of

    the

    tribes in

    question.

    In

    British colonial

    sources,

    Muslim

    clergy

    were often called

    Sayyids

    regardless

    of

    their

    origin.

    8

    It is

    noteworthy

    that,

    according

    to

    Ibbetson,

    many

    of the

    tribes

    (perhaps groups/clans,

    there are no Pashtun tribes

    claiming Sayyhid origin

    [S.A.])

    which claim

    Saiyad origin

    are

    Shiahs

    (Ibbetson,

    1883,

    p.

    201).

    9

    If

    we read the word

    nmazi

    given by

    White

    King

    without trans-

    literation as

    nmdndzi

    (praying

    [man]) (z

    and

    dz

    are often con-

    fused in Pashto, especially in Persian loan-words, nmanndz,

    sometimes

    nmuindz,

    rom Persian

    namaz)

    we

    get

    an

    interesting

    name of this

    Sayyid

    family- The

    praying people

    from

    Tdl(l)a

    (Ta(a)l(l)a

    is a

    geographical

    name

    especially popular

    in the

    country

    of the Haz~iraPashtuns

    (Adamec,

    1972-85,

    vol.

    VI,

    p.

    778)

    and

    The

    praying people

    from the

    Takki

    (Takki

    (Zam)

    is a river

    not

    far

    from

    Kainiguram

    in Wazirist-n

    (Caroe,

    1964,

    p.

    405)).

    10

    Malik

    To_,

    once a committed follower of the

    Rawxaini

    doc-

    trine,

    left the movement about

    1620

    and

    joined

    the

    Mughal

    forces.

    It

    seems

    that his conflict

    with

    the Shiah

    preacher

    in

    the Orakzai had a

    political

    character or was caused

    by

    the

    traditional

    Sunnite-Shiite

    hostility.

    At

    all

    events,

    there is no

    mention of the

    Rawxaniyya

    in

    White

    King's

    narration.
