Sufis have been revered in our country as a sect representing the true face of Islam!

The face that beams peace, love and brotherhood.

This fallacy has been nurtured so deep in our psyche that Sufi Music has become an inseparable part of our culture.

And that is not all! Even the honourable Prime Minister has hailed their role, especially in Kashmir!
