He highlighted anecdotes of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya’s generosity and how he laid the foundation of the syncretic traditions through his words of love for mankind and incidents that are still remembered by residents, cutting across all religions. “Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya regularly organised langars, comprising puris, halwa, and vegetables, which was eaten by everyone, cutting across faith and economic divide. When he stayed at the basti, two wells, as well as Yamuna river, were the

only source of water,” he said. A keen observer, one day, the Sufi noticed a woman, belonging to the Hindu faith, dropping by at the basti to draw water from the well. “After noticing this for a couple of days, Hazrat inquired from his khadims why she was not using unadulterated water of the Yamuna (then pollution free). Her brutally Frank's answer left Auliya in tears. She said that she didn’t have a husband but had a child to feed. If she gives him the Yamuna water, his hunger would open up. Therefore, she was serving him coarse water of the well so that he would not ask for food. On hearing this heartrending story, Hazrat Nizamuddin instructed his disciples to provide food to the lady until her child grew up. From the langar, four rotis, halwa, chhole and vegetables were given to that woman,” narrated Aamir.
