Modi lays foundation stone for Ravidas memorial in MP

Born in the present-day Varanasi, Sant Ravidas, who was one of the prominent figures of the Bhakti Movement, highlighted the struggles of Dalits and championed the causes of the oppressed using poetry and spirituality.

Addressing a gathering after laying the foundation stone for the structure, the prime minister said, "The memorial is steeped in the spirit of 'Samrasta' (harmony) as the soil from over 20,000 villages and water from more than 300 rivers became part of Sant Ravidas' upcoming temple-cum-memorial."
