Barelwi
From Freepedia
Barelwi is historically the term for the residents of Bareilly, a small city in the North Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. In modern usage, it usually refers to the followers of Imam Ahmed Rida Khan Barelwi, an important Muslim scholar of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. More commonly, Barelwi is used as a pejorative term by South Asian Wahhabis to refer to non-Wahhabi Sunni Muslims.
Those referred to in the more general sense of Barelwi tend to identify themselves as "ahl-e sunnat wa jama`at" (the Urdu-ized form of the Arabic "ahl al-sunna wa al-jama`a") or "Sunni" for short. In most South Asian languages, the word "Sunni" is used primarily as the opposite of "Wahhabi," in contradistinction to common English usage.
The actual followers of Imam Ahmad Rida Khan - while including themselves in the Sunnis - indicate this particular attachment with words like Rizwi (or Razavi), Barakati, or Nuri - all of which refer to subdivisions of the Qadiri sufi lineage.
