Born in 1945, Gorakh Pandey was a Bhojpuri and Hindi poet from Deoria and later a researcher at JNU. Some of his songs and poems have become anthems of dissent due to their inherent fearlessness and their support for the systematically disenfranchised. He was a poet of the people and his poetry was all the more powerful owing to the use of simple words and expressions.
