New Delhi: “Tiger married a cow, the lion prepared for poor battle and mice celebrating.” Showing how this sentence was written by the Kabir can be seen at this time, Purusottam Agarwal, Kabir Kabir’s author, said at the Litfest on Saturday, “The sentence resonates today in modern democracy.
Politicians form alliances to win elections, the media publishes them and people -Arang people celebrate their own destruction, “said
Agarwal said the writings of Kabir reflected the first step towards the modern world.
“The idea is sometimes it may seem unprehensive, but his words appeal to our humanity.
Kabir is Weaver’s son but becomes more than that.
Galileo also opposes the Dogma of the Church.
This is the first example of modern thinking, individuals.”
Discussing his book with the author of Devdutt Pattanaik, Agarwal stressed the importance of the historical context, showing how jayasi was ridiculed in talking about sati in Padmavat.
“People believe that Jayai, becomes a Muslim, focuses on Sati.
But they don’t notice that the jayasi talks about Sati in just one verse from 700.
He also said men can do sati.” Agarwal added, “someone’s future is a gift.
Me and my gift can be a person’s past.
This interconnection needs to be appreciated.
”
The author said the Bhakti movement rejected binary vision.
“Someone will read Padmavat either from the perspective of Rajput or see it through a khilji lens.
But the jayasi uses work as a tool to write about love in the real sense.
Kabir is also more than just a religion.
He talks about two truths – live and die,” Agarwal said.
