An essay by Dr Dipanjali Deka titled Singing Nirgun Fearlessly: A Journey from Baahar (Outer) to Bheetar (Inner), has been published in the Routledge-edited volume – The Indian Knowledge System: Creative Dialogue on Intellectual Traditions in the 21st Century, edited by Manindra Thakur and Shailja Tandon.
The volume seeks to foster democratic dialogue among intellectual traditions, recover neglected conceptual resources, and explore plural pathways for knowledge production in the contemporary world. Dr Deka’s chapter explores the baahar–bheetar dialectic in Kabir to challenge the binaries of political/spiritual and sagun/nirgun, revealing their interdependence through embodied musical practice and philosophical inquiry.
