Mains Q/A : (GS 1 - Modern History)
What were the ideas/views of B.R. Ambedkar about Religion ?
👇👇👇
Bhats and Charan :
✅ Modern Rajasthan and Gujarat have maintained a strong bardic identity, and hold two main classes of bards :- "Bhats" and "Charans"
✅ Bhats in Rajasthan :-
They are semi-itinerant performers, typically living in tents pitched around bamboo poles. They are of low - caste.
✅ Charans :-
They are an elite bard caste in Western India that identify with the Kshatriyas.
They fulfil the same roles as Bhats, while possessing a unique identity of their own as more courageous and fierce, because as royal bards they would ride into battle with their kings.
✅ Ancient bardic tradition and practices still thrive daily in Kutch , and a festival dedicated to Charan lineage takes place there every year.
