A lot of sufis, especially in poorer areas of punjab/sindh are former hindus, who only recently got converted, this may be the reason they haven't abandoned their old ways. Some Sufis have nothing to do with Islam, their practices are totally different

It has nothing to do with recent converts. You should know that shiekh ahmed sirhind try to clean islam from these kind of hindu influences in akbar times. Then the deoband movement was started to cleanse islam in india from such practices and bidaat. Those who opposed such movement by deobandis and wanted to retain the so called sufi islam, started calling themeselves bareilvis and nowadays ahle-sunnat.
