The '''Molesalam''' are a [[Muslim Rajput]] community found in the state of [[Gujarat]] in India. They also refer to themselves as '''Molesalam Thakur''' and sometimes '''Molesalam [[Girasia]]''' (Grasiya).<br />
<br />
The Molesalams were targeted in an oppressive ''shuddhi'' ‘purification’ campaign launched by the [[Arya Samaj]] Hindu community in 1908. In March of 1926, the Molesalams held an anti-''shuddhi'' conference in Charotar, led by a prominent leader of their community and member of the [[Bombay Legislative Assembly]], Sardar Naharsinhji Ishvarsinhji.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Virani|first=Shafique N.|author-link=Shafique Virani|year=2011|title=Taqiyya and Identity in a South Asian Community|url=https://www.academia.edu/36996009|journal=The Journal of Asian Studies|volume=70|issue=1|pages=99–139|doi=10.1017/S0021911810002974|s2cid=143431047|issn=0021-9118}} p. 114.</ref><br />
