The Wahabi Movement primarily originated in which region of India?
Bihar
The Wahabi Movement in India, inspired by the teachings of Syed Ahmad Barelvi, aimed to purify Islamic practices and establish an Islamic state, opposing British rule.
Patna in Bihar became the main centre and headquarters of the movement in India, from where it organised resistance and recruitment.
Bengal, Punjab, and Delhi saw related activity and clashes at various points, but the movement's primary base and organisational origin in India was Bihar.
Hence, the Wahabi Movement primarily originated in Bihar.
