Revisit original sufi poets to resist majoritarian politics' idea of spirituality: K Satchidanandan

Poet K Satchidanandan on Thursday said it's important for people to revisit the poetry of Tukaram and Meera Bai to understand spirituality in its true form, especially in the times of majoritarian politics where religion is used as a tool to attain power.

Satchidanandan said he had written a poem about Kabir in the '90s, before the demolition of Babri Masjid, when people knew "something like this was going to happen."
