Notes:
Explanation: Mir Nithar Ali, popularly known as Titu Mir, was a disciple of Sayyid Ahmed Barelvi, the founder of the Wahabi Movement.
- Titu Mir adopted Wahabism and advocated Sharia. He organized the Muslim peasants of Bengal against the landlords, who were mostly Hindu, and the British indigo planters.
- The movement was not as militant as the British records made it out to be; only in the last year of Titu’s life was there a confrontation between him and the British police. He was killed in action in 1831.
