Abstract EN
and Sudan since the ancient times.
The study begins to explore the existence of a direct contacts between india and the Kingdom of Kush.
Studies recognizes the existence of “extraneous influences” in the Meroetic culture which are neither Egyptian nor European.
It is attributed to an eastern origin.
The cumulative effect of the oriental (including Indian) influences at Meroe is small when compared to the Egyptian and Greco-Roman influences.
The ancient and ever growing commercial transactions between India and Sudan had developed to such an extent that Sudanese traders began to tap the Indian source of the eastern trade at Surat itself.
The study reveals the contacts between Sudan and India in women’s costumes, Saj Beds, and probably in the realm of Islamic sufism (mysticism), especially the Qadiriyya order, that some Indian scholars and sufi leaders left an impact on local sufi leaders and were instrumental in the dissemination of sufism during the Funj era.
