Poetry is one of the best forms of literature. It appeals to us, because it presens human feeling in an artistic way. I am very fond of reading poems. I spend much of my spare time in reading poems. They give me delight and inspiration. I have read most of the poems written in Hindi. Shri Ram Dhari Singh Dinkar is my favorite poet.
Career
Dinkar was born in a small village, Simaria, in the district of Monghyr in 1908. He passed B.A. (Hons.) Examination from Patna University. He worked as a Sub-Registrar for some time. Then he served the Public Relations Department of the Government of Bihar as Deputy Director. After some time he became professor of Hindi in Langat Singh College, Muzaffarpur. He was elected an M.P. in 1952. Then he was made Vice-chancellor of the Bhagalpur University. He served the University for some time.
His literary works
Time important poetical works of Dinkar are Renuka, Dwandwa Geet, Hunkar, Raswanti, Rashmi Rathi, Kurukshetra and Neel Kusum. He has also written many critical essays.
Why I like him most
I like Dinkar for his revolutionary ideas and patriotism. His poem reflects a healthy attitude to life and its problems. They inspire us to revolt against tyranny and injustice. During the days of India’s struggle for freedom his poems were a great source of inspiration for patriots. Some of his poems give us an insight into the glorious history of India. His poems always give us a message of hope, manliness, fearlessness and courage. His poems are also remarkable for lucidity fo expression, vividness of imagery and melody.
Conclusion
Dinkar must be regarded as one of the greatest poets of the modern generation. It cannot be denied that he has given a new direction to Hindi poetry.
