ramdhari singh ` dinkar -lrb- 23 september 1908 -- 24 april 1974 -rrb- 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 .
his poetry exuded `` veer rasa '' , and he has been hailed as a `` rashtrakavi '' -lrb- `` national poet '' -rrb- on account of his inspiring patriotic compositions .
he was a regular poet of hindi kavi sammelan on those days and is hailed to be as popular and connected to poetry lovers for hindi speakers as pushkin for russians .
the present prime minister of india , narendra modi wrote a message appreciating the translation of rashmirathi into english by the mauritian cultural activist leela gujadhur sarup .

dinkar initially supported the revolutionary movement during the indian independence struggle , but later became a gandhian .
however , he used to call himself a ` bad gandhian ' because he supported the feelings of indignation and revenge among the youth .
