Abstract
Abstract Contemporary Islamic reformist movements in India are often studied through the lens of intra-religious debates and challenges to traditionalist forms of Islam in India. While these constitute an important starting point for the scholarship, it is important to develop the field further. Against this backdrop, this chapter aims to shed light on the Kerala Nadwatul Mujahideen (KNM) movement, a Salafist reformist Muslim group that has its roots over 100 years ago in the southern Indian state of Kerala. Through a combination of primary (videos, online speeches, etc.) and secondary sources (articles and news reports), the chapter demonstrates that while the scholarship has rightly focused on its reformist trajectory, it is also a highly political movement that has engaged significantly within the Kerala political landscape. In doing so, it also demonstrates the KNM’s understanding of secularism and democracy, which differs significantly from its Salafist counterparts globally.
