Revisiting the life and legacy of Guru Sant Ravidas is not just about remembrance. Born into a marginalised community and earning his living as a cobbler, Sant Ravidas infused everyday work with spiritual dignity. His vision of Begampura was a moral one, shaped by lived experience. Ayodhya airport’s naming after Maharshi Valmiki, and now Adampur’s association with Sant Ravidas, tell a larger story of transition. Sant Ravidas would have instinctively understood this.
