Anand threads his way in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Over the years, as a publisher and editor, Anand immerses himself in the works of Babasaheb Ambedkar and other anti-caste thinkers. He gives up his practice of music and poetry, blaming his disenchantment on caste. One day in Delhi, Anand starts looking for Kabir. He finds him here, there, everywhere. He begins to pay attention to the many ways in which Kabir’s words are sung, and translates them. Soon, Kabir starts looking out for Anand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The songs of Kabir sung by a range of singers—Prahlad Tipaniya, Fariduddin Ayaz, Mukhtiyar Ali, Kumar Gandharva, Kaluram Bamaniya, Mahesha Ram and other wayfarers—make Anand return to music and poetry. Anand translates songs seldom found in books. Along the way, he witnesses Kabir drawing on the Buddha, often restating ancient suttas in joyous ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Notbook of Kabir\u003c\/i\u003e is the result of this pursuit with no end in sight.
