How is barelvi a bidah? Deobandi is almost the same as barelvi, except that barelvi is sufi, and sufi don't care about worldy gains, only about hte hereafter (teoretically)

Salam,
Deobandhi and Barelvi have their differences.
Deobandhi are also sufi, in fact of you look at the elders a lot of them if not all of them were Sufi and part of Tariqa.
This forum is mostly a deobandhi forum so In my opinion you will hear/get told a lot of stuff about Barelvi some of which will be true some of which won't be true.
Best thing to do is to speak to someone you know imam of a mosque/sheikh/scholar if you want to learn the differences .. maybe even see scholars and sheikhs from both sides to be fair.

I am neither Barelvi or Deobandhi and prefer not to get caught in all this name calling etc.

Allah knows best.
