The concept of identity applied to the study of medieval Indian thinkers and mystics of the sant tradition – both explicitly formulated and implicit in the works ascribed by later tradition to them – can be studied on two levels. One set of questions touches the problem of human identity in general, the degree of its reality as perceived by the sants themselves vis-à-vis, to them, the ultimate reality of the divine. The second field of investigation encompasses the modern reception and reflection of the sant tradition and contextualization of its various aspects – religious/philosophical, social, communal, by different groups of modern interpreters. Special attention has to be paid to the academic interpretations in the post-partition cultural climate on the one hand and to sectarian renderings and reworkings, e.g. those of the modern Kabir panth, on the other. The emerging composite image of multiple identity of Kabir and other eminent representatives of the medieval sant tradition puts in a sharp relief the elusive nature of the concept of identity itself.
