Muhammad Ramzan (1769–1825) was an Indian Islamic scholar, Sufi saint and preacher. He worked to persuade recent converts to Islam from Hinduism to abandon Hindu customs and religious festivals and to follow Muslim ones instead.
Ramzan told converted Rajputs, Meo and Jats (Muslim Rajputs) were in no way different from their Hindu counterparts in culture, customs and celebrations of religious festivals. He also said that they were not only pir-parast and grave worshipers, they were also idolators They celebrated Holi, Diwali and other Hindu festivals with zeal and dressed in the Hindu fashion.[1][2][3][4]
