Hindustan Times takes a trip down memory lane to look at the powerful orator and fiery poet in Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Known most widely for his poem Haar nahi maanoonga, raar nahi thanunga, kaal ke kapaal pe likhta mitata hoon, geet naya gaata hoon, Vajpayee’s defiant and thought provoking poetry has inspired millions of Indians.
