Assalaam alaikum,
We know the Deobandi was a movement to unify Muslims and return them to the correct path. The movement was a little political but the focus turned to education more than politics. If I understand this most of the Deobandi concentrated on education and dawah.
The Deobandi have attracted students from all over the world. The link I posted actually has broken down the countries and number of students from those countries.
Although there is some Sufi thought that is not the primary directive. The Deobandi post fatawas. They encourage the growth of the community. The reasons for the expansion of the Deboandi is simply the numbers of Muslims from the Subcontinent who have migrated all over the world. Thus, it makes sense wherever there is a large group from the Subcontient you will see the Deobandi. The UK, South Africa and some parts of the US. The students come to the universities. The curriculum is classical. Students are coming from all over the world.
