Roshani movement
 |
The Rōshānī movement (Pashto: روښاني غورځنګ, "the enlightened movement") was a populist, nonsectarian Sufi reformation movement founded in 16th-century by the Afghan or Pashtun warrior-poet, Bayazid Pir Roshan, who is more commonly known as Pir Roshan or Pir Rokhan ("the enlightened Pir (sufi master)").[1] Pir Roshan challenged the inequality and social injustice he imputed to the Moghul rulers of the day, instead advocating an egalitarian and even communistic social system.[2] Its adherents were inducted into the order through a series of secret initiation rituals.
