Divya Delhi:  Sufism was a silent revolution that spoke of love, melody, and divine wisdom in a time when faith and philosophy often clashed. Combining Quranic teachings with Vedic thinking, Persian poetry with Hindustani music, and spiritual commitment with life rhythm, it thrived in India. Few embodied this mix as well as poet-scholar Hazrat Amir Khusrau, who regarded India as paradise and whose songs echo across generations. The 25th Jahan-e-Khusrau festival, which honors Khusrau, featured Prime Minister Narendra Modi reflecting on how the Sufi heritage gave India a unique character that bridged spiritual divides and eased orthodoxy. Sufism, as taught by saints like Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, shaped culture and faith. Does Indian Sufism's seamless blend of spiritual introspection and cultural synthesis offer a reformation model that reconciles tradition with changing faith and society? Modi's adoption of Jahan-e-Khusrau is a strategic reconstruction of India's syncretic history, not just a cultural nod. His embrace of Sufi traditions is an unexpected but planned move in a period of historical traumas. He offers an alternative to dogmatic orthodoxy and positions India as the true guardian of a polished, inclusive Urdu culture that transcends sectarian ownership by honoring poetry, music, and pluralism. Similar to how Atatürk secularized Turkish identity or the Pahlavis elevated Persian by removing exclusivist theocratic connotations, Modi looks to be creating a modern, ambitious, and deeply connected Urdu culture into the national fabric. For decades, Pakistan has guarded Urdu, linking it to its Islamic identity. Urdu's ideological confines have limited its cultural growth due to this relationship. India, home to some of Urdu's finest poets, thinkers, and artists, is reclaiming its role as the language's natural and most energetic guardian.
