Writing is an attempt of historical investigation which draws attention towards the significant and historic role of the Chishtiya Sufism which left enduring impact on subcontinent. In other words the article tries to trace ChishtiKhanqahs’ syncretistic tendencies that very well synthesize Indian art and culture with Muslim traditions. The article highlights how local techniques and apparatuses, which Indian society was accustomed, were used by Chishti Sufis in molding the Hindu public temperament and social structure on which it was based on such as, language and music. Emphasize is given on Chishti Sufi masters’ spiritual mission that was, to break the blockade which stood between man and man and interweave them together in common bond of sorority, respect and love apart from of their religion, caste or faith associations.
