Harivansh Rai Bacchan - It is really wrong to think of him as a "Halavadi Kavi" Harivansh Rai "Bacchan": Halavadi or not, he is the the best poet by the definition that a poem should inspire new thoughts in the reader every time it is read. He ia my absolute favorite poet in Hindi - I just don’t find words to describe /discuss him.

Ramdhari Sinh Dinakar - His "Rashmi Rathi" is path breaking. Ramdhrari Singh "Dinakar": Kya josh hai unke kavita mein. I recommend "rashmirathi" and "Jayadrath Vadh" for anybody who wants to enjoy either Hindi poetry or the Indian way of thinking.

Kabir - Isn't it amazing that a so called weaver with no formal knowledge can write DOHAs in the correct format? Kabir: Can you believe that he was illiterate but wrote DOHAs with the correct punctuation and syllable count?

Munsi Premchand - No words to describe him

Gulzar & Javed Akhtar: Who said Lyrics of Hindi film songs are filmi? Listen to these masters lyrics and I promise you, you will learn good Hindi.
