Abstract

India since its beginning has been a Hindu state. Brahmans were considered belonging to the upper caste in Hinduism and practices followed by Muslims were opposite to those of Hindus. But after Mughal invasion, Islam was widely practiced by those who migrated into India. Hence, the study attempted to understand the religious impact and advent of sufism during the Mughal period. It was found that through sufism, the philosophy of mystical traditions pertaining to other religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism were shared by Sufis amongst the people of India which showed that the Sufis were very liberal in their thoughts and ideas.
