Solution
The Bhakti movement contributed significantly to the development of Indo-Islamic culture. The Bhakti movement highlighted the fundamental unity of Islam and Hinduism, as well as the importance of a religion focused on love and devotion above rituals. Thus, they created an environment in which liberal attitudes and opinions were encouraged while religious narrowness was discouraged. They preached that God is one, but the manners in which we worship him are different. God should be worshiped with love and devotion.
