Understanding Bhakti and Sufi movements & influence of Christianity on Indian society

Indian culture has earned a lot of dignity and respect worldwide. Our culture is diverse; still we have
unity in our presentation and outlook. During the medieval period, Bhakti and Sufi movements spread
across India along with Christianity. They spread their message through hymns, bhajans, sermons and
music. These movements influenced the social and cultural aspects of Indian society.

 The role of St. Francis in propagating Christianity in India
 Influence of Christianity and its significant role in promoting language, art and literature on
