Ahl al-Hadith
Since the Barelvi movement was formed in reaction to the reformist Deobandi movement, relations between the two groups have been strained; Barelvi founder Ahmad Raza Khan declared Deobandis infidels and apostates. Relations with other South Asian Muslim movements have been somewhat better. Leaders of the Barelvi and Ahl al-Hadith movements in the Kashmir Valley denied animosity between the groups in mid-2012, saying that Kashmiris can no longer afford sectarian strife after two decades of war.
