Literary Works of Medieval India
Medieval Indian literature represents a profound shift from Sanskrit and courtly Persian to accessible vernacular languages, driven primarily by the Bhakti and Sufi movements. Key figures like Amir Khusro, Kabir, and Tulsidas not only created masterpieces but also fundamentally reshaped the linguistic, cultural, and spiritual landscape, fostering a unique Indo-Islamic synthesis.
