introduced the idea of Jihād in the movement. The movement confined to Bengal
and ended soon.
Titu Mir had also advocated for the rights of Muslim farmers so that they could own
and cultivate their land. He fought against the oppressive land policies imposed by
the British colonial administration, which often resulted in the dispossession of
farmers from their lands. Titu Mir encouraged farmers to resist these policies and to
assert their
ownership and control over their agricultural land. Indigo cultivation was a major
source of revenue for the British, but it involved exploitative practices that adversely
affected Muslim farmers. Titu Mir organized protests and resistance movements
against the indigo planters, who forced the farmers to grow indigo instead of food
crops. He encouraged the farmers to prioritize their own food security and economic
well-being
over the demands of the indigo planters.In response to the oppression faced by the
Muslim farmers, Titu Mir organized armed resistance against the British and the
local landlords who supported their exploitative policies. Through this armed
resistance, Titu
Mir aimed to protect the interests and rights of the Muslim farming community.
Conclusively, it can be said that Shāh
Walī Ullāh was the most important Muslim reformer among all because his efforts
were not confined to a particular place i.e. SayyidAḥmad Shahīd was confined to
Punjab and Ḥājī Shari‘at Ullāh to East Bengal.
