The Chishti Order was and is perhaps India's most widespread and popular Sufi Order. There were many notable figures from this order viz. Moinuddin Chishti, Baba Farid, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Amir Khusro, Baba Kaliyari, etc. There is a small correction over here. Nizamuddin was born in Badaun which is erroneously spelled as 'Babadun' in this lesson. So please take notice of that. Apart from the Chishtis, there were some others which flourished during the Sultanate Period. Those are briefly described here. Finally the impact of Sufism on India and the society, which includes revival of monotheism in Hinduism, gradual Islamization and birth of syncretic sects like Sikhism.
