Karwan-I-Islami (Urdu: کَاروانِ اِسلاَمی) is a religious organization established in 2004 by Ghulam Rasool Hami in Jammu and Kashmir, India.[1] It is "an amalgam of [the] biggest Hanafi organisation[s] in Kashmir having 40 constituents".[2] Hami remains its chairman.[3]

The organisation is known for its campaigns to ban liquor,[4] and against restrictions placed by the central government of India on the Triple Talaq.[5][6] It is also notable for levelling allegations of fraud against the School Education Department of Kashmir, claiming money was being allocated to "non-existent" schools.[7]

The president and chairman of the organisation is Ghulam Rasool Hami.[2] In 2016, Hami appealed for people to "come forward and talk to each other" as a means of ending the Kashmir conflict.[8]
