Editing Kabir (section)

===Authenticity===
Kabir's poems can be found in a wide variety of publications and websites, but the discussion of authenticity is ongoing.{{sfn|Hess|Singh|2002|p=6}} It seems certain that minor changes will have occurred through the centuries and it is also possible that poems written by others have been attributed to Kabir.

[[Rabindranath Tagore]]'s English translation and compilation, ''[[Songs of Kabir]]'', was first published in 1915 and has been a classic reprinted and circulated particularly in the West.{{sfn|Schomer|McLeod|1987|pp=167–169}}{{sfn|Kabir|1915|p={{page?|date=February 2022}}}} One critic (V.C. Mishra) has gone so far as to suggest that only six{{sfn|Schomer|McLeod|1987|p=173|ps=: The authentic poems are poems 15, 32, 34, 35, 69 and 94.}} of its hundred poems are authentic{{sfn|Schomer|McLeod|1987|p=172}} and also raises the question of whether the translator projected theological perspectives of the early 20th century onto Kabir.{{sfn|Schomer|McLeod|1987|pp=168, 178–179}} The same essay adds that the presumed unauthentic poems nevertheless belong to the Bhakti movement in medieval India and may have been composed by admirers of Kabir who lived later.{{sfn|Schomer|McLeod|1987|pp=167–169}}
