Explanation

Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti (1141-1236), the founder of the Chishti order in India, was given the title 'Shaikh-ul-Hind' (Leader of India) for his spiritual leadership and influence. He established his khanqah in Ajmer, Rajasthan, which became a major spiritual center. The other options were also important Sufi saints - Baba Fariduddin (Farid), Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki, and Salim Chishti - but the title 'Shaikh-ul-Hind' is specifically associated with Moinuddin Chisti.
