Mumbai 29 June (HS): Devendra Fadnavis, the Chief Minister

of Maharashtra, is a well-known political figure serving his third term. He

openly mentions and celebrates Sant Kabir Das, a 15th-century spiritual poet

and social reformer known for his ageless couplets (dohas) advocating for

humanism and social justice. On Kabir Das Jayanti, the Chief Minister regularly

honors the saint, emphasizing how Kabir's simple poetry opposed caste

inequality and theological hypocrisy while promoting love and worldwide

brotherhood.

He remarked in a post on X, “Remembering a saint whose dohas

inspired social reform and conveyed the deeper meaning of life and devotion,

Sant Kabir Das, on his Birth Anniversary!”
