Hello aspirant,

Bhakti movement:-

The Bhakti movement regionally developed around different gods and goddesses, and some sub-sects were Vaishnavism  (Vishnu), Shaivism (Shiva), Shaktism (Shakti goddesses), and Smartism . Bhakti movement preached using the local languages so that the message reached the masses. The movement was inspired by many poet-saints, who championed a wide range of philosophical positions ranging from theistic dualism  of Dvaita to absolute monism of Advaita Vedanta .

The movement has traditionally been considered as an influential social reformation in Hinduism, and provided an individual-focused alternative path to spirituality regardless of one's birth or gender.


Indian literature:-

Indian literature refers to the literature produced on the Indian subcontinent until 1947 and in the Republic of India thereafter. The Republic of India has 22 officially recognized languages .

The earliest works of Indian literature were orally transmitted. Sanskrit literature begins with the oral literature of the Rig Veda  a collection of literature dating to the period 1500–1200 BCE. The Sanskrit epics Ramayana and Mahabharata were subsequently codified and appeared towards the end of the 2nd millennium BCE.

Hope this helps you
