		While the Deobandis were careful to insist that they were not 'Wahhabis' in the sense of being followers of Muhammad bin 'Abdul Wahhab, some Deobandis, recognising the commitment that they shared with the Saudi 'Wahhabis' to the extirpation of what they regarded as bida'ah, accepted the label 'Wahhabi' in that limited sense.
		The Deobandis, by and large, seem to have maintained the somewhat ambiguous attitude of their elders towards the Ahl-i Hadith and the 'Wahhabis' till at least the late 1970s, when the situation began to change with new access to Saudi funding.

	Islamism
		In India, the Deobandi movement developed as a reaction to British actions against Muslims and the influence of Sayed Ahmad Khan[?], who advocated the reform and modernization of Islam.
		Though the Deobandi philosophy is puritanical and wishes to remove non-Muslim (i.e., Hindu or Western) influence from Muslim societies, it was not especially violent or proselytising, confining its activity mostly to the establishment of madarassas[?], or Muslim religious schools.
		Strongly influenced by Deobandi ideology, he advocated the creation of an Islamic state governed by sharia, Islamic law, as interpreted by Shura councils.

		In order to protect the insolent writings of their elders, the Deobandi scholars adopted a stance of hostility and stubbornness, and with all their might began propagating among the masses that they were completely free from the charges of blasphemy.

	Metcalf1
		Deobandi institutions and movements are united by the goal of spreading adherence to shari`a - divinely ordained morality and practices, as understood in this case by measuring current practice against textual standards and traditions of Hanafi reasoning.
		Deobandis use a range of strategies to achieve mundane goals variously defined -- from protection of life and property, to social honor and political power, to the dignity that comes from pious adherence to what are taken as divine commands.
		The Deobandi organization must be kept distinct from other Islamically based movements, in particular those I will label "Islamist."3 These other movements are, arguably, intellectually the most interesting Islamic political movements of the last century.
