Answer 2

Ginan is the name of the literary genre developed by the Khojas who are a branch of the Ismaili sect of Shiaism.

Ginans are actually devotional poems or hymns developed by Khojas especially their Pirs (saints) in south Asia. Later we see the Ginans were recited by the scholars and followers of Khoja saints and thus it developed into a genre.
