Description	This article speaks about Chaitanya, a great religious and social reformer in the 15th century in India, who popularized the Bhakti Movement in India. He denounced the caste system. Due to him, Orissa got saved from the onslaught of Islamic rule. He accepted devotees from all strata of society. He introduced Kirtan, or Mass chanting in the Hindu religion. This system minimized caste conflict in Orissa, as it exists in North and South India. The Chaitanya movement had an impact on Indian society. It breakdowns orthodox Brahmanic dominance over society and proclaimed the dignity of every man.
