Is Sufi Islam a compromise with Indian Culture?

That was in connection with the khanqah culture… which is just like opium and for which Iqbal has said:

Kinar-E-Darya Khizar Ne Mujh Se Kaha Ba-Andaz-E-Mehramana
Sikandari Ho, Qalanderi Ho, Ye Sub Tareeqe Hain Sahirana

Hareef Apna Samajh Rahe Hain Mujhe Khudayan-E-Khanqahi
Unhain Ye Dar Hai Ke Mere Nalon Se Shiq Na Ho Sang-E-Ashiyana

Ghulam Qoumon Ke Ilm-O-Irfan Ki Hai Yehi Ramz Ashakara
Zameen Agar Tang Hai To Kya Hai, Fizaye Gardoon Hai Be-Karana

**Khabar Nahin Kya Hai Naam Iss Ka, Khuda Farebi Ya Khud Farebi
Amal Se Farigh Huwa Musalman Bana Ke Taqdeer Ka Bahana
**

another piece by Iqbal that is also very much related to topic and your post

kal aik shoraida khawb gah e Nabi(s.a.w) pe ro ro k keh raha tha
keh Misar o Hindustan k muslim (a)bna e millat mita rahay hain

this one and next shair of this nazam can make new topic, will create some other time. note what is common between misar and hindustan, that is sufism
