Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti is one of the most influential Sufi in India and is credited with spreading of [[Islam]] in the [[Indian subcontinent]].<br />
<br />
When Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti reached India, he found the local society to be poisoned by [[untouchability]]. So he decided to organize a [[Langar (Sufism)|langar]] (public eating of food together irrespective of status, sex, religion and caste). This langar brought people into influence of [[Islam]] and its strict stand against untouchability.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}}<br />

Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti is buried at the [[Dargah]] of Khawaaza Moiunddin Chisti which is his [[mausoleum]] (Roza Shareef) in Rajasthani city of Ajmer. The city where he preached [[Islam]] all his whole life.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}}<br />
