BRITISH INDIAN VIEWS
(NINETEENTH
AND
EARLY
TWENTIETH
CENTURIES) OF THE LATER FOLLOWERS OF THE RAUXANIYYA
SECT
IN
AFGHANISTAN
AND NORTHERN
INDIA
By Sergei Andreyev
St.
Hugh'sCollege,
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
about the
beginning
of the
nineteenth

JOURNAL
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
affinity
between
the
Shiah
beliefs
professed
in
this
region
and either
the
Rau3'iani
religion
or the
Khariji
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-
ing
their books
and their tenets with
equal
care.

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).
3
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).

If
we read the word

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.
