A Mohammedan sect formed in 1827, and met with chiefly in Eastern Bengal; they discard tradition , and accept the Korân as their sole guide in religious and spiritual concerns, in this respect differing from the Sunnites, with whom they have much else in common; although of a purer morality than the main body of Mohammedans, they are narrow and intolerant.
