The '''Qalandariyya''' ({{lang-ar|قلندرية}}), '''Qalandaris''' or '''Kalandaris''' are wandering [[Sufism|Sufi]] [[dervish]]es. The writings of ''Qalandaris'' are not merely celebrations of [[libertinism]], but affirmations of [[antinomianism|antinomial]] beliefs. |

The first references are found in the 11th-century prose text ''Qalandarname'' (The Tale of the Qalandaris) attributed to Ansarī Harawī. The term ''Qalandariyya'' appears to be first applied by Sanai Ghaznavi in [[Social influence|seminal]] poetic works where diverse practices are described. Particular to the Qalandari genre of poetry are items that refer to their practices of gambling, games, consuming [[intoxicants]], [[syncreticism]], libertinism, antinomialism, [[perversion|violating societal norms]] and [[Nazar ila'l-murd]], things commonly referred to as [[Blasphemy in Islam|Kufr]] or [[Nonsense|Khurafat]] by [[Sunni Islam|orthodox]] Muslims. |

The order was often viewed with scrutiny by [[Islamic state|Islamic authorities]]. |

The term remains in popular culture. Sufi [[qawwali]] singers the [[Sabri brothers]] and international Qawwali star [[Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan]] favoured the chant ''dam a dam masta qalandar'' (with every breath ecstatic Qalandar!), and a similar refrain appeared in a hit song from [[Runa Laila]] from movie [[Ek Se Badhkar Ek (1976 film)|Ek Se Badhkar Ek]] that became a dancefloor crossover hit in the 1970s. |

In [[Pakistan]] and [[North India]], descendants of Qalandariyah [[faqir]]s now form a distinct community, known as the [[Qalandar (caste)|Qalandar biradari]]. |

The Qalandariyya (Arabic: قلندرية), Qalandaris or Kalandaris are wandering Sufi dervishes. The writings of Qalandaris are not merely celebrations of libertinism, but affirmations of antinomial beliefs.
The first references are found in the 11th-century prose text Qalandarname (The Tale of the Qalandaris) attributed to Ansarī Harawī. The term Qalandariyya appears to be first applied by Sanai Ghaznavi in seminal poetic works where diverse practices are described. Particular to the Qalandari genre of poetry are items that refer to their practices of gambling, games, consuming intoxicants, syncreticism, libertinism, antinomialism, violating societal norms and Nazar ila'l-murd, things commonly referred to as Kufr or Khurafat by orthodox Muslims.
The order was often viewed with scrutiny by Islamic authorities.
Origin
The Qalandariyya are an unorthodox Tariqa of Sufi dervishes that originated in medieval al-Andalus as an answer to the state sponsored Zahirism of the Almohad Caliphate.[1][2]
Spread
From al-Andalus the Qalandariyya quickly spread into North Africa, the Levant, Arabia, the Iranosphere, Asia Minor, Central Asia and Pakistan.[1][2] In the early 12th century the movement gained popularity in Greater Khorasan and neighbouring regions, including South Asia.[3]
The Qalandariyya may have arisen from the earlier Malamatiyya and exhibited some Buddhist and Hindu influences in South Asia.[4] The Malamatiyya condemned the use of drugs and dressed only in blankets or in hip-length hairshirts.[4] Qalandariyya spread to Hazrat Pandua in Bengal and places in Pakistan through the efforts of multiple Qalandari figures.[1][5]
Qalandari songs in Pakistan typically incorporate Qawwali styles as well as different local folk styles, such as Bhangra and intense Naqareh or Dhol drumming.[6]
