Mann Faqeeri: Sufiyana Kalam of Kashmir by M. K. Raina
With the advent of Islam in Kashmir, a new cultural exchange took place among Central Asia, Persia and India resulting in a new syncretic cultural mosaic comprising essences of Islam, Shivism and Buddism. The Film explores this syncretic tradition, both past and present, through Sufiyana kalam of the Valley.
