The Idea of India in Amir Khusrau

To be the place of my birth (maulud), abode (mawa) and motherland (watan) (3)
He further justifies the praise and precedence which his motherland deserves by citing a well-known tradition of the Prophet: “the love of motherland is an essential part of the true faith (hub al-watan min al-iman)”.’He asserts that this is an essential part of his creed (din). (4)

Amir Khusrau and his Adaptability – J. Dadademery

Amir Khusraw, who formed a part of Bughra Khon’s retinue, keenly observed these developments. The clash was averted by well – intentioned people, who brought about reconciliation between father and son. Khusraw composed a “qasida” on the occasion and offered it to Bughra Khan.
Later, at Kaiqobad’s desire, he composed a Mathnavi “Qiran-us-Sadain” commemorating the event. Even in this he could not resist the urge to sing the praise of the beauty of Delhi

Basant: The day hope lived in Nizamuddin Auliya again

Mai Sahiba lies in a grave next to the room she lived in, a short distance from the Qutb Minar.
Nizamuddin, in his early twenties, had buried a part of his soul: his mother. She was his life. She was his everything. For when there was nothing, no food, no home, she was there to offer him comfort; she was there to reinforce trust.

Mystics of the sayyid Lodi period (1414 AD. To 1526 AD. )- A.Halim

The Suharwardis
The rich khanqahs of the Suharwardi Order of Multan, Uchh, and Talamba were pillaged during the successive waves of Mongol invasion. The destruction of the western part of Sultanate of Delhi during the invasion of Timur with consequential loss of human lives, and the continued invasion of the same region under the leadership of Sayurghatimsh, the Mughal governor of Kabul, practically inflicted a mortal blow upon the Suharwardia Silsilah situated as it was in the affected regions.
