Atal Bihari Vajpayee was an Indian statesman who served three terms as the Prime Minister of India. He was a noted poet, writing in Hindi. His published works include Kaidi Kaviraj Ki Kundalian, a collection of poems written when he was imprisoned during the 1975–77 emergency, and Amar aag hai. With regard to his poetry he wrote, "My poetry is a declaration of war, not an exordium to defeat. It is not the defeated soldier's drumbeat of despair, but the fighting warrior's will to win. It is not the despirited voice of dejection but the stirring shout of victory."
We have brought to you one of this remarkable poem 'Than Gayi' in the voice of Jawaid Hasan. We are very thankful to him for his contribution in our initiative.
