Re: Is Sufi Islam a compromise with Indian Culture?
Not exactly.. The kind of Qawwali that is present in India was invented during Nizam u din Auliya / Ameer Khusro period and quite distinguished from nasheed/ naat prevalent in other Muslim countries.
Dus bibiyon ki kahani might not be sufi tradition, but it is followed in those circles who are very much into sufiism (to be specific Barelvis).. This is very much similar with Hindu Punch Kaniya and I don’t think that this 5/10 beebiyon ki kahani is that popular in other Muslim countries.
