A. Suhrawardi Order
B. Chishti Order✓ Correct Answer
C. Naqshbandi Order
D. Qadiri Order

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Chishti Order was introduced to India by Khwaja Muin-ud-din Chishti, who settled in Ajmer and emphasized spiritual devotion, asceticism, and service to humanity through music and charity. The Suhrawardi order was prominent in Punjab and Multan under figures like Baha-ud-din Zakariya, while the Naqshbandi order was established later during the late Mughal period. Sufism played a crucial role in fostering cultural syncretism across medieval society.
