He was husband to Nirmala and brother-in-law to Chokhamela.Born in Mehenpuri, Banka was a member of the Mahar caste of Untouchables. In most of his abhangs he praisedVitthal in happiness and peace. Infrequently, he described his lower caste birth.
As a bhakti poet saint from the Mahar caste of untouchables, Banka raised a voice against untouchability which is very relevant to current Dalit literature.
