"name": "Sahir Ludhianvi",
"bio": "Abdul Hayee (8 March 1921 – 25 October 1980), popularly known by his takhallus (pen name) Sahir Ludhianvi, was an Indian poet and film songs lyricist who wrote in the Hindi and Urdu languages.\r\n<br>\r\nHis work influenced Indian cinema, in particular Bollywood film. Sahir won a Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist for Taj Mahal (1963). He won a second Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist for his work on Kabhie Kabhie (1976). He was awarded the Padma Shri in 1971. On 8 March 2013, the ninety-second anniversary of Sahir's birth, a commemorative stamp was issued in his honour.\r\nSahir wrote,<br><br>\r\n\"मैं पल दो पल का शायर हूँ, पल दो पल मेरी कहानी है<br>\r\nपल दो पल मेरी हस्ती है, पल दो पल मेरी जवानी है<br>\r\nमुझसे पहले कितने शायर, आए और आकर चले गए,<br>\r\nकुछ आहें भरकर लौट गए, कुछ नग़मे गाकर चले गए<br>\r\nवो भी एक पल का किस्सा थे, मै भी एक पल का किस्सा हूँ<br>\r\nकल तुमसे जुदा हो जाऊँगा, जो आज तुम्हारा हिस्सा हूँ\"<br>\r\n<br>\r\nSahir was different from his contemporaries in that he did not praise Khuda (God), Husn (beauty) or Jaam (wine). Instead, he wrote bitter yet sensitive lyrics about the declining values of society; the senselessness of war and politics; and the domination of consumerism over love. His love songs, tinged with sorrow, expressed his realisation that there were other, starker concepts more important than love.\r\n\r\nSahir might be called the \"bard for the underdog\". Close to his heart were the farmer crushed by debt, the soldier gone to fight someone else's war, the woman forced to sell her body, the youth frustrated by unemployment and the family living on the street for instance. Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime Minister of India said he was moved by Sahir's lyrics in Pyaasa.[citation needed] Vijay, as he is passing through a red light area sings,\r\n<br>\r\n\"ये कूचे, ये नीलामघर दिलकशी के,<br>\r\nये लुटते हुए कारवां ज़िंदगी के,<br>\r\nकहाँ है कहाँ है मुहाफ़िज़ खुदी के?<br>\r\nजिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर,वो कहाँ हैं?\"<br>\r\n<br>\r\nSahir's poetry was influenced by noted Pakistani poet, Faiz Ahmed Faiz. Like Faiz, Sahir gave Urdu poetry an intellectual element that caught the imagination of the youth of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s and reflected the feelings of the people of that period. He roused people from an independence-induced smugness. He would pick on the self-appointed custodian of religion, the self-serving politician, the exploitative capitalist, and the war-mongering super-powers. Sahir wrote with verve about the arrest of progressive writers in Pakistan; the launch of the satellite Sputnik and the discovery of Ghalib by a government lusting after minority votes. He wrote Kahat-e-Bangal (The Famine of Bengal) at 25 years of age. Subah-e-Navroz (Dawn of a New Day), mocks the way people celebrate while the poor exist in squalor. Of the Taj mahal, he wrote,\r\n<br>\r\n\"मेरे महबूब कहीं और मिला कर मुझसे,<br>\r\nबज़्म- ए-शाही में ग़रीबों का गुज़र क्या माने.<br>\r\nसबत जिन राहों पर है सतबते शाही के निशां<br>\r\nउसपे उल्फत भरी रूहों का गुज़र क्या माने?\"-<br>\r\n<br>\r\nSahir Ludhianvi asks his lover to meet him anywhere else but at the Taj Mahal: although the tomb has been a symbol of luxurious monarchy for years, there is no need for beautiful (but not famous) hearts to travel to meet there. <br>\r\nSahir Ludhianvi recited this poetry couplet at his college event, when he was barely 19 years old, and created an uproar in the literary circles:<br>\r\n<br>\r\nEk Shahensha Ne Daulat Ka Sahara Lekar, Hum Gharibon Ki Mohabbat Ka Udaya Hai Mazaq\r\n<br>\r\nOf his legacy, Sahir writes,\r\n<br>\r\n\"कल और आयेंगे नगमो की खिलती कलियाँ चुनने वाले,<br>\r\nमुझसे बेहतर कहनेवाले,<br>\r\nतुमसे बेहतर सुननेवाले;<br>\r\nकल कोई उनको याद करे,<br>\r\nक्यूँ कोई मुझको याद करे?<br>\r\nमसरूफ ज़माना मेरे लिए क्यूँ<br>\r\nवक़्त अपना बर्बाद करे?\"<br>\r\n\"Tomorrow there will be more who will narrate the love poems. May be someone narrating better than me.\r\nMay be someone listening better than you. Why should anyone remember me? Why should anyone remember me?<br><br>\r\nWhy should the busy age waste its time for me?\"<br>",

"bio": "Atal Bihari Vajpayee was an Indian politician, statesman and a poet who served three terms as the Prime Minister of India, first for a term of 13 days in 1996, then for a period of 13 months from 1998 to 1999, and finally, for a full term from 1999 to 2004. A member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), he was the first Indian prime minister who was not a member of the Indian National Congress party to have served a full five-year term in office.\r\n<br>\r\nHe was a member of the Indian Parliament for over five decades, having been elected to the Lok Sabha, the lower house, ten times, and twice to the Rajya Sabha, the upper house. He served as the Member of Parliament for Lucknow until 2009 when he retired from active politics due to health concerns. Vajpayee was among the founding members of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS), of which he was the president from 1968 to 1972. The BJS merged with several other parties to form the Janata Party, which won the 1977 general election. Vajpayee became the Minister of External Affairs in the cabinet of Prime Minister Morarji Desai. He resigned in 1979, and the Janata alliance collapsed soon after. The erstwhile members of the BJS formed the BJP in 1980, with Vajpayee as its first president.\r\n\r\nDuring his tenure as prime minister, India carried out the Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998. Vajpayee sought to improve diplomatic relations with Pakistan, travelling to Lahore by bus to meet with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. After the 1999 Kargil War with Pakistan, he sought to restore relations through engaging with President Pervez Musharraf, inviting him to India for a summit at Agra.\r\n\r\nHe was conferred India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, by the President of India, Pranab Mukherjee in 2015. The administration of Narendra Modi declared in 2014 that Vajpayee's birthday, 25 December, would be marked as Good Governance Day. He died on 16 August 2018 due to an age-related illness.",

"name": "Gopaldas Neeraj",
"bio": "<br> Gopaldas Neeraj (popularly known as Niraj or Neeraj; 4 January 1925 – 19 July 2018)[2] was an Indian poet and author of Hindi literature. He was also a poet of Hindi Kavi sammelan. He was born in the village of Puravali, near Mahewa in Etawah district in Uttar Pradesh, India on 4 January 1925. He wrote under the pen name \"Neeraj\".\r\n<br>\r\nHe was awarded the Padma Shri in 1991 and Padma Bhushan in 2007.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBesides writing, he earned his living teaching in a college and was a Professor of Hindi Literature in Dharma Samaj College, Aligarh. Around 2012, Neeraj was the chancellor of Mangalayatan University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nSeveral poems and songs written by Neeraj have been used in Hindi movies. He wrote songs for several Hindi films and was proficient in both Hindi and Urdu. In a television interview, Neeraj called himself an unlucky poet who had to concentrate on the poetry form instead of writing songs for films.[citation needed] His career as a film lyricist ended when he became depressed by the deaths of some of the film music directors with whom he had worked.
