How did the Bhakti movement influence the social and cultural landscape of medieval India?
The Bhakti movement significantly influenced medieval India's social and cultural landscape by promoting equality among all human beings, challenging caste distinctions and Brahmanical authority. It did so through advocating personal devotion to a Supreme God, transcending caste or gender. Saints from diverse backgrounds, including "untouchable" castes, emphasized love and devotion to God over ritualistic practices, making religious experiences more personal and inclusive. This movement also led to a rich development in music and regional literatures, as Bhakti saints composed their works in local languages, making spirituality accessible to the masses and contributing to a shared cultural heritage.
In what ways did the teachings of the Alvars and Nayanars contribute to the development of South Indian society?
