Islamic Culture and Heritage in India

India is a historical land with a rich history and diverse culture. One important part of its history is the heritage of Islam. Islam was introduced to India in the 7th century when the Umayyad caliphate won Multan and regions of Sindh. After this conquest, Islam started spreading towards the Indian Inlands, and over the next few centuries, the Indian sub-continent was being ruled by Muslim rulers.


Islam flourished at that time under the preaching of famous Sufi saints. India is known for its famous Muslim Sufis, such as Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, Nizamuddin Auliya, and Amir Khosrow. India is also well known for being ruled by one of the strongest empires - The Mughals.


India is home to some incredible Islamic architectural wonders, like the great Taj Mahal in Agra. This beautiful white marble building was built by the Mughal King Shah Jahan. Other famous places include the Red Fort and Jama Masjid in Old Delhi, Qutub Minar in Delhi, and the Golconda Fort in Hyderabad.


Urdu also has deep roots in the culture and heritage of India. It's been the medium for poetry, literature, and classical music. Even today, India hosts a festival known as Jashn-e-Rekhta, celebrating the Urdu language. The festival features Urdu poetry, literature, qawwali music, discussions, debates, and even calligraphy to show how Urdu has influenced India's culture.
