kilometers (1,000 miles). Despite having the same religion, the ethnic and linguistic gap

however additionally syncretic to some extent. The rulers mostly remained bored with
preaching religion. Rather, they focused on incorporating native communities into the state
system. In their administration, high workplace holders, powerful traders, eminent clerisy,
and musicians came from various non secular traditions. Still, practitioners of Sufism
(mystical Islam) and Muslim saints did so preach Islam, and Muslim settlers received
patronage. Though high-caste Hindus received land grants beneath early Muslim rule,
beneath the Mughals most grants were awarded to Muslim settlers. These settlers developed
associate farming economy in geographic area that ultimately helped the unfold of Islam.
Meanwhile, the in depth interaction between Islam and Hinduism was mirrored in social
behaviour and also the flourishing of assorted cults, notably that of the Hindu saint Caitanya

Lastly, Haleem.

Haleem is an Arabic dish. It is a popular stew made with meat—usually beef or mutton—

juice, coriander leaves, fried onions, ginger root, and green chilies. Haleem is a high-calorie
dish, providing protein from the meat and fiber and carbohydrates from the combinations of
grains and pulses. This is quite possibly why the dish is so popular for breaking fast during
Ramadan.
