I think poetry is one of the medium. Otherwise, if we culturally analyze psyche of Muslims of India (converted one), it was very difficult for them to comprehend concept of God developed in open lands of Arabia, where one can be directly linked with God without any intermediary as compared to prevalent intermediaries (otaar, etc) in the religion of their forefathers. Sufism somehow bridged that gap and then came the mannat and chadhwa on Mazaarat and search of someone who can link you with the God (which is otherwise inapproachable).

so you kinda say that spreading was not possible in india without Sufism?
and it was the only sufism through which Islam spread in subcontinent?
