"It is not important to know who was Kabir, but what is important is 'who is Kabir', what impact his rich legacy of songs and verses has had on people, and how they relate to him today", explains singer, and author Vipul Rikhi ( vipulrikhi.com ) as he talks about his latest book 'Drunk on Love: The Life, Vision, and Songs of Kabir', published by Harper Collins. Rikhi gives us a peek into the concepts that stand out clearly in the verses left behind by the poet-saint Kabir, concepts that have influenced spiritual followers as well as those fighting for social reform in the past 500 years. The author argues that Kabir is an idea and a force, which has been preserved by the people of India as a living tradition. Rikhi is immersed in the oral traditions of our country. His interest, besides Kabir, also includes other Bhakti and Sufi poets. He has authored 5 other books relating to oral traditions of song.
