The period was very crucial to the Muslims societies due the emergence of British as new master in the Indian Subcontinent following the fall of Mughal Empire. The Muslim faced drastic changes in their life, economically, socially and politically. As a guardian of Islam, the ulama undoubtedly played a vital part and were involved directly with the revivalist movement in India. The role of the ulama such as Shah Waliullah and Sayid Ahmad Barelvi were important to be highlighted to analyze the nature of the relationship between the ulama and the revivalist movements.
