… He spoke harshly of his dissatisfaction with the discrimination caused by the caste system, and represented the position of the low-caste masses, mainly in rural areas, such as Vaishyas and Shudras. His poems, called abhangs, total 4,600 in number and compiled into the Tukārām-Gāthā (Tukārām Hymns). They preach fervent faith in the god Bhithoba, and appeal to the general public to have deep faith and to perform their daily work and duties. … From Namdeo…He was from the Shimpī (tailor) caste and played an important role in spreading the Bhāgavata faith among the masses, leading the religious reform movement in medieval Maharashtra. He preached bhakti (devotion) to the local deity Viṭhobā through a method called sankīrtan, in which he chanted the name of the deity with melodies and sang abhang, a Marathi hymn to the deity. Together with his contemporary Jnāneśwar, he laid the foundations of the Vārkarī sect, the representative of the Bhakti movement in Maharashtra. … From Marathi...The first literary works that have survived to posterity were written by the sage poets (sants) of the 13th to 18th centuries, and many of these religious poems, written in the popular language of the time, played a major role in the religious reform movement in the region and helped the spread and development of Marathi as a language. In particular, Jnaneswar's commentary on the Bhagavad Gita (1290) and the devotional poems (abhang) of Namdeo and Tukaram are famous. Since the 19th century, modern literature has developed in both verse and prose, and today Marathi is the language that has produced the most abundant and excellent literary works in India. *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Abang" are listed below.
