Dinkar, a renowned Indian Hindi poet, essayist, freedom fighter, patriot, and academic, was recognized for his nationalist poetry and embodiment of the Veer Rasa (heroic sentiment) during the pre-independence era. He received the Padma Bhushan Award in 1959 and served as a member of the Rajya Sabha three times. Influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and Karl Marx, Dinkar transitioned from supporting the revolutionary movement to advocating for freedom and social justice in a Gandhian manner. His nationalist works earned him the title of Rashtrakavi (‘national poet’), and his poetry remains popular among Hindi speakers, similar to Pushkin’s stature among Russians.
