Question

Summary of poem it's needless to ask of a saint by kabir

Answer 1

It is needless to ask of a saint the caste to which he belongs;
For the priest, the warrior. the tradesman, and all the
thirty-six castes, alike are seeking for God.
It is but folly to ask what the caste of a saint may be;
The barber has sought God, the washerwoman, and the carpenter-
Even Raidas was a seeker after God.
The Rishi Swapacha was a tanner by caste.
Hindus and Moslems alike have achieved that End, where remains no mark of distinction.

Answer 2

Saint Kabir is one of the most known poets of India. In the poem "It is needless to ask of a saint the caste to which he belongs" the poet criticizes the mindsets which promote the caste system in India. He points out the people of lower castes who help in the development and the growth of the upper-class people. He says that when the society is divided on the basis of caste, economic status, religion, and region then it becomes very difficult for the country to progress. He questions that when the people are not treated equally then how can it be said that there is progress in the country.
