Explanation:

The Wahabi Movement was a part of the Indian freedom struggle as it offered a serious threat to British supremacy in India in the 19th century.
The movement was led by Syed Ahmed Barelvi (not Vilayet Ali), who was greatly influenced by the teaching of Abdul Wahab of Arabia and the preaching of Delhi saint Shah Walliullah.
The Wahabi Movement essentially condemned all changes and innovations to Islam. It was a revivalist movement which held that the return to the true spirit of Islam was the only way to get rid of the socio- political oppression.
In 1847, the Wahabis started full preparation for an absolute war against the British rule in India from their base camp in Sitana. Vilayet Ali became the undisputed leader.
The British took up brutal measures and the period between 1863-65, witnessed a series of trials by which all the principal leaders of the Wahabi movement were arrested.
