Question

why do you think ordinary people preserve the memory of Mirabai

Answer 1

Since Mirabai’s songs openly challenged the existing norms of the ‘upper castes’, ordinary people could relate to them. Hence they preserved her memory.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mirabai was a Rajput Princess married into the royal family of Mewar in the sixteenth century.

Mirabai became a disciple of Ravidas, a saint from a caste considered “untouchable”.

She was devoted to Krishna and composed innumerable bhajans expressing her intense devotion.

Ordinary people have preserved the memory of Mirabai because her songs openly challenged the norms of the upper castes.

Due to her actions against royal upper castes, she became popular within the ordinary masses of Rajasthan and Gujrat.
