  First Partition of Bengal
The Swadeshi Movement as an economic movement would have been quite acceptable to the Muslims, but as the movement was used as a weapon against the partition (which the greater body of the Muslims supported) and as it often had a religious colouring added to it, it antagonised Muslim minds.
The greater body of Muslims at all levels remained opposed to the Swadeshi Movement since it was used as a weapon against the partition and a religious tone was added to it.
The economic aspect of the movement was partly responsible for encouraging separatist forces within the Muslim society.

The ideas of these movements may be traced back to Shah Waliullah (1703-62) of Delhi, who had called for a puritanic reform of Indian Islam, but in Bengal the movements took the form of a peasant revolt.
It cannot, however, be denied that the movements sharply demarcated the boundaries between a Muslim and a non-Muslim, or, for that matter, between a Muslim belonging to the movement and a Muslim who was not.
A tangible outcome of this trend was seen in the 1940s in the Tebhaga movement of the Bengal peasantry, based on the demand for a greater share of output for the actual tiller of the land.

 Center on Islam, Democracy and the Future of the Muslim World
The Mujahidin Movement’s founder Sayyid Ahmed Bareili had been influenced by the teachings of Shaykh Muhammad bin Abdel Wahhab during a pilgrimage to Mecca and had returned to India with the belief that there was a need to purify Islam as it was practiced in India and to reestablish Muslim power.
The influence of the Mujahidin and Faraizi movements receded as the British gradually dispersed the fruits of modernity and introduced representative institutions among Indians, while simultaneously repressing their militant opponents.
The Deobandis, as the seminary’s graduates and followers of the movement it inspired are known, attribute the decline of Islamic societies in all spheres of endeavor to Muslims being seduced by an amoral and materialist Western culture, and from assorted Hindu practices believed to have crept into and corrupted the Islamic religion.

 Permanent Settlement : Banglapedia Article:Boi-Mela
The peasant resistance movements took an alarming turn in the 1870s and early 1880s when the peasants in several parts of eastern Bengal made jotes (alliances) among themselves to assert their rights in land and minimise extraction of surpluses by zamindars.
The most remarkable of the peasant uprisings in this period were the Tushkhali (in Bakerganj) peasant movement (1872-75),pabna peasantuprising (1873), chhagalnaiya (Noakhali) peasant movement (1874), mymensingh tribal peasant movement (1874-1882), munshiganj (Dhaka) peasant movement (1880-81) and mehendiganj (Bakerganj) uprising (1880-81).
The Faraizis (a Muslim reformist sect) took up the peasants' cause and the faraizi movement established extensive network across the country, particularly in south Bengal, against the zamindari control.

Bengali peasant support for the various Islamic movements since the early 19th century not only projects the violent, “pre-political” and non-committal aspects of the peasant community, it also suggests how vulnerable Muslim peasants have been to the manipulative leaders who mobilise mass support in the name of Islam or any other ideology.
The Wahhabi and Faraizi leaders, and especially the most influential Maulana Karamat Ali Jaunpuri (1800-1873), a former Wahhabi-turned-“loyalist” Islamic reformer of the 19th century, brought the syncretistic Bengali Muslims, mainly peasants, into the fold of Sharia-based, orthodox and puritan Islam.
The Hindu revivalist movements and the anti-Muslim socio-economic and political stand of the bulk of the Hindu elites and middle classes in the 19th and 20th centuries further strengthened the hold of the ulama and their patrons, the ashraf (aristocratic, upper class Muslims), on the Bengali Muslim masses.

But, in India, a movement was launched against such Islamic practices by the orthodox ulema on the ground that they resembled Hindu practices.
It was this form of Islam, with the saint cult as its core, that was sought to be rejected in the nineteenth century by a number of movements such as the Ahi-i-Hadith, the Tariqah-i-Muhammadiyah, the Faraizi and the Al-Taaiyuni.
To call them reform movements, which is how they are generally described, is to miss their avowedly anti-Hindu orientation.

In the first wave were the Mahdi of Sudan (1848-1885); the Wahabis of Saudi Arabia (1703-1792); the Sanusi of Libya (1787-1859) and the Faraizi (1764-1840) and Syed Ahmed Barelvi’s (1786-1831) movements in India.
In short, these movements are very different from the other-worldly mystical Islam of the sufis; the ritualistic Islam of the conservative mullas and the folk Islam of the common people.
That is why these revivalist movements are urban-based and appeal to educated people aware of inequality, injustice and colonial exploitation.

 Ecological Debt: Prospective and Consequences on Land
As a result, throughout the history of rural social movements, land issues have been the focus of various agrarian movements in South Asia as an issue of social justice and equality.
In addition to these land rights and alienation issues, the land degradation and deprivation caused by neo-liberal policies and programs such as dumping of fertilizers, pesticides and other toxic substances further aggravated the land and livelihoods of rural population and thus the economy of the developing nations.
Social movements in both South and North have been increasingly counting the losses of land qualities as ecological debt accumulated by Northern industrialized countries towards Southern countries.
