Populism Populism is a mode of political communication that is based on contrasts between the "common man" or "the people" and a real or imagined group of "privileged elites", traditionally scapegoating or making a folk devil of the latter. Populists can fall anywhere on the traditional left–right political spectrum of politics, and can often be characterised as centrist where populists portray both bourgeois capitalists and socialist organizers as unfairly dominating the political sphere.
Roshaniyya Roshaniya ("the enlightened") was a populist, nonsectarian Sufi reformation/enlightenment movement founded in 16th-century Afghan by Bāyazīd Ansārī (Pashto: بايزيد انصاري‎ ), also known as Pīr Roshān or Pīr Rokhān (Pashto: پیر روښان‎ , "the enlightened Pir (sufi master)"; Persian: پیر روشن‎ ‎ ) (1525 – 1581/1585). Pīr Roshān was a Pashtun warrior, poet, Sufi master and intellectual from the Ormur tribe. He challenged the inequality and social injustice he imputed to the Moghul rulers of the day, instead advocating an egalitarian and even communistic social system, and taught doctrines that questioned some widely accepted teachings within Islam. Its adherents were inducted into the order through a series of secret initiation rituals.
