Kabira Khada Bazaar Mein
Kabir sang his poems in the market place, his spirituality firmly grounded in the public square. 600 years after his time, this 15th century Indian mystic poet’s legacy can be found in both spaces – sacred and secular. This film interweaves the deification of Kabir by a religious sect with his secular appropriation by a social activist group. The story unfolds through the life of Prahlad Tipanya, a Dalit singer whose participation in both domains begins to raise difficult questions for him about ritual and organized religion.
