Country	India
Abstract	Sufism in Kashmir has become an important aspect, Sufism became the main dominant form of Islam in Kashmir but when we look back in the late nineteenth century the criticism to the Sufi tradition also starts and these critics are coming from various groups like Salafi, Wahabi, Deobandis and Ahl-i-Hadith even the Jama’at-i-Islami. This study gives a historical backdrop of Sufism in Kashmir and also looks at the Sufi tradition in the context of the “reformist” in which Sufi tradition in Kashmir was criticized or attacked by various groups. The author also aims to shed light on how Kashmir is transformed from Sufism to Salafism and what are the challenges that emanate from the radical brand of Islam to Kashmiri Sufi tradition.
Keywords	Sufism, Ahl-i-Hadith, Jama’at-i-Islami, Cult, Kashmir.
