Kabir as a Social Critic and Reformer
Fearless Challenger of Orthodoxy
Kabir was not only a mystic poet but also a powerful social reformer who fearlessly challenged:
• Brahminical orthodoxy
• Muslim clerical dominance
• Idol worship without understanding
• Rituals performed for display
• Caste–based oppression
• Social hypocrisy across communities
His criticism was not destructive but instructive. Using analogies, satire, and humor, he urged people to look beyond external identities and discover spiritual unity.
Kabir's teachings promoted compassion, honesty, and direct communion with the Divine, inspiring millions of people belonging to every caste and religion.
