The poet-saints of Maharashtra such as Namadeva, Eknath and Tukaram were devotees of lord Vitthala who was a form of Lord Shiva. 

This is an abhang (Marathi devotional hymn) of Sant Tukaram:

"He who identifies with the battered and the beaten,
Mark him as a saint, for God is with him.
He holds every forsaken man close to his heart.
He treats a slave as his own son, says Tuka.
I won’t be tired to repeat again, such a man is God in person.

Here is an abhang composed by Chokhamela’s son:
You made us low caste,
Why don’t you face that fact, great Lord?
Our whole life – left-over food to eat.
You should be ashamed of this; you have eaten in our home.
How can you deny it?
Chokha’s (son) Karmamela asks, why did you give me life?"

Discuss the ideas about the social order expressed in abhang of Sant Tukaram.
