Ramdhari Singh “Dinkar” (23 September 1908 – 24 April 1974), was an Indian Hindi poet, essayist, patriot and academic, who is considered as one of the most important modern Hindi poets. He remerged as a poet of rebellion as a consequence of his nationalist poetry written in the days before Indian independence. He has been hailed as the national poet of India on account of his patriotic body of work. This poem “Samar Shesh hai” which translates to “The war still remains” was written seven years after Indian Independence to lament the betrayal of dreams of a prosperous nation. #Hindi #Dinkar #Ramdhari #Singh #Poetry #India
