Guleriaji a lot of these sufis were frauds whose sole interest was to make converts and act as spies for Muslim kings so that they could do jihad. Sita Ram Goel had exposed these so called sufis in great detail, here is some info:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Imam Hanifa criticized by Amir Khusru

Amir Khusru was a contemporary of Qazi Mughis-ud-din.  He is presented by the “modem” Muslims and lionised by the “educated” Hindus as the “pioneer of secularism in India”.  He had, however, something very specific to say on the status of Hindus vis-à-vis the Islamic state.  “Happy HindUstAn”, he wrote, “the splendour of Religion. where the Law finds perfect honour and security.  In learning Dehli can now compete with BokhAra, for IslAm has been made manifest by its kings.  The whole country, by means of the sword of our holy warriors, has become like a forest denuded of its thorns by fire.  The land has been saturated with the water of the sword, and the vapours of infidelity have been dispersed.  The strong men of Hind have been trodden under foot, and all are ready to pay tribute.  IslAm is triumphant, idolatry is subdued.  Had not the law [of Imam Hanifa] granted exemption from death by the payment of poll-tax, the very name of hind, root and branch, would have been extinguished. From GhaznI to the shore of the ocean you see all under the domination of IslAm.  Cawing crows5 see no arrows pointed at them; nor is the TarsA (Christian) there, who does not fear (taras) to render the servant equal with Allah; nor the Jew who dares to exalt the Pentateuch to a level with the KurAn; nor the Magh who is delighted with the worship of fire, but of whom the fire complains with its hundred tongues.  The four sects of MusulmAns are at amity and the very fish are SunnIs.”6


It has to be remembered that Amir Khusru was one of the foremost disciples of Nizam-ud-din Awliya of Delhi who is counted among the five great sufis of the Chishtiyya school.  He is himself regarded as an outstanding sufi on whose mazAr in Delhi urs is held every year.  His Hindi verses are cited as a proof positive of his love for the land of his birth.  But what the Amir says about Hindustan and Hindus speaks volumes about sufis and Sufism.  The few “educated” Hindus who admit that Prophetic Islam is “somewhat fanatic”, believe that Sufistic Islam is “large-hearted and liberal”.  The Chishtiyya school of Sufism in particular is supposed to have “built bridges between the two communities”.

True Face of Sufism

But the evidence that is available points towards a contrary conclusion.  The Chishtiyya school was foisted on India by Muin-ud-din who had settled down in Ajmer before the Second Battle of Tarain.  According to the sufi lore, he had made a few converts from among the local Hindus and started issuing orders to Prithivi Raj Chauhan, the Hindu king, for the benefit of these converts.  When the king ignored him, he invited Muhammad Ghuri to invade the Chauhan Kingdom.  Sir-ul-Awliya, the most famous history of the Chishtiyya school written by Khwaja Amir Khurd, another disciple of Nizam-ud-din Awliya, tells the following story: “His [Muin-ud-din’s] blessed tongue uttered spontaneously, ‘We have handed over Pithora alive to the army of Islam.’ In those very days, Sultan Muiz-ud-din Sam arrived in Ajmer from Ghazni.  Pithora had to face the army of Islam.  He was captured alive by Sultan Muiz-ud-din…  The Khwaja [Muinud-din] was a worker of great wonders.  Before he reached Hindustan, all its cities right upto the point of sunrise were sunk in tumult and infidelity and were involved with idols and idolatry.  Everyone among the rabble [Gods] of Hindustan claimed to be the great God and a co-sharer in the divinity of Allah.  The people paid homage to stones, sods of clay, trees, quadrupeds, cows and bulls and their dung.  The darkness of infidelism had made still more firm the seals on their hearts…  Muin-ud-din was indeed the very sun of the true faith.  As a result of his arrival, the darkness that had spread over this country was dispelled.  It became bright and glowed in the light of Islam... Anyone who has become a Musalman in this country will stay a Musalman till the Day of Dissolution.  His progeny will also remain Musalman… The people [of Hindustan] will be brought out of dAr-ul-harb into dAr-ul-IslAm by means of many wars."7

There is plenty of primary literature available in Arabic and Persian regarding the rise, development, and doings of numerous sufi silsilas in India.  Some of this literature has been translated into Urdu and English as well.  A study of this literature leaves little doubt that sufis were the most fanatic and fundamentalist elements in the Islamic establishment in medieval times.  Hindus should go to this literature rather than fall for latter-day Islamic propaganda.  The ruin of Hindus and Hinduism in Kashmir in particular, can be safely credited to sufis who functioned there from the early thirteenth century onwards.
