Very interesting story of a north Indian saint from medieval times. He was the guru of Kabir and inspired Guru Nanak too.
The video is in Hindi. One of the comments by Nikhil Tiwari gives an English summary:
Crux of the video in English for non Hindi speakers is that Swami Ramanand was a teacher to Kabir and Tulasidas both who took two different paths of Bhakti to attain truth. He was a teacher of Swami Ramdas, a tanner or Charmkaar who later became teacher of Rajput queen Mirabai. So whats happening here is that a Brahmin is teaching a Shudra and the Shudra later becomes guru of a Kshatriya. This dismantles all caste based discrimination theory by leftists. Ramanand also converted about 34,000 Rajputs who were converted to Islam back to their faith. So the video is asking that why Ramanand isn’t found in our history books but his disciples Tulsidas, Kabir, Ramdas? Simple because it will threaten the so called anti brahmin narrative by leftists who have propagated that brahmins, rajputs are castiests who have always suppressed dalits & pave a way to further the unity among Hindus.
I agree with this. Emphasis is mine.
Another point worth repeating from my other post on caste is that Swami Ramananda is another example of the self correcting nature of Hinduism. Yes, caste-based discrimination happened in the past and is still happening. But always there have been counter movements within Hinduism for correcting it. There is no need for external intervention, especially not from the abrahamics.
This is Not Right Wing!
