Indian people's struggle against the British took different forms. One of the Indian Muslims’ measures to avoid cultural invasion of the colonialism was foundation of religious schools.The purpose of the present paper is to establish familiarity with the Deobandi School and its influence on Iranian Baluchistan.Therefore, by using descriptive – analytical method and taking advantage of original sources in Urdu, Arabic and Persian, we have attempted to illustrate the historical context of the Deobandi School of Thought.The given historical period begins from the early 19th century and extends to the recent decades.The question is that: Have religious schools in Baluchestan been influenced by Indian Deobandi School of Thought? And what have pioneer founders of Deobandi Schools in Baluchistan done in this regard?The assumption is that educational reforms in Baluchistan have been formed under the influence of Deobandi thinking, and this trend has continued since then.The study showed that Iranian Baluch students who returned to Baluchistan after being educated in Indian Deobandi School caused changes in religious schools and in the currents of thought in Baluchistan, and the current propagation groups conduct their activities, inspired by Deobandi Dar-ul Olum pattern.
