Answer 1

NEW DELHI: Jnanpith award recipient 

Kunwar Narain

, whose distinctive humanist voice made him one of the most distinguished poets in post-independent Hindi literature, passed away at a city hospital on Wednesday. He was critically ill for the past four months, sources close to the litterateur said. He was 90.


“Compassion was his primary concern. For him, life and language were two sides of the same coin. Whether he was writing on ancient themes or on contemporary subjects, his poetic core was essentially humanist,” says culture activist Satyanand Nirupam. Adds literary critic Purushottam Agarwal, “His poetry is also marked by a clearly defined progressive outlook and inclusive Indianness.”


Born in Faizabad, Narain was a post-graduate in English literature like several other Hindi poets of the time. His first book of poems, Chakravyuh, came out in 1956 during the early, heady years of the Nayi Kavita (New Poetry) movement. He earned further notice after being featured in 

Teesra Saptak

 (1959), a seminal anthology edited by the renowned Agyeya.
