While I appreciate the gesture, I hope such visits translate into concrete policy actions against caste discrimination. The teachings are beautiful, but we need real change on the ground.

As someone new to India, I find it fascinating how spiritual leaders from centuries ago still have such a profound impact on modern politics and society. The continuity of tradition is remarkable.

The list of accompanying leaders is almost as long as the article! Feels a bit like a political show, but if it brings attention to Guru Ji's universal message, maybe it's okay. Jai Guru Ravidas!

This is the real India. Diverse faiths, shared values. Leaders from all parties should remember and promote these saints who taught us to look beyond man-made divisions.
