Examine how Mirabai defied the norms of caste system.
Answers
Answer:
(a) Mirabai (c. fifteenth-sixteenth centuries) is perhaps the best-known woman poet within the bhakti tradition. Biographies have been reconstructed primarily from the bhajans attributed to her, which were transmitted orally for centuries. According to these, she was a Rajput princess from Merta in Marwar who was married against her wishes to a prince of the Sisodia clan of Mewar, Rajasthan. She defied her husband and did not submit to the traditional role of wife and mother,instead recognising Krishna, the avatar of Vishnu as her lover.
(b) According to some traditions, her preceptor was Raidas, a leather worker. This would indicate her defiance of the norms of caste society.
(c) Although Mirabai did not attract a sect or group of followers, she has been recognised as a source of inspirations for centuries.
