  1. Amir Khusro, the celebrated Sufi poet, musician and scholar of the Delhi Sultanate, is credited with originating the ‘Sabak-e-Hindi’ style of Persian poetry. This poetic movement incorporated Indian experiences, landscapes, emotions and cultural symbols into traditional Persian forms. Khusro experimented with vocabulary, rhythm and imagery, producing a uniquely Indian flavor within Persian literature. His intellectual versatility and exposure to diverse cultures allowed him to merge Indo-Islamic artistic traditions seamlessly. The new style gained immense popularity and shaped Indo-Persian literary evolution for centuries, influencing poets across India, Iran and Central Asia.
