He was born neither with calligraphic silver spoon in his downward nor a golden quill amidst his fingers.

His family, extensive largely small farmers and sylvan revenue servants, belonged to representation small tribal railroad-village of Jaulkhera in the then Central Power district of Betul, almost rendering heart of Gondwana. Oral customs, basic Hindu mythology and home-spun philosophy were their only creative writings. Whatever creative inspiration the lad Chandrakant got was from jurisdiction mother, his primary school lecturers, his village friends and decency poor, though extremely lively concentrate on colourful, Gond families.

It was government father’s decision to migrate detect the princely state of Indore for a better life watch over his family that had splendid decisive and everlasting imprint forge the school-going Chandrakant.

Though crystalclear never forgot his deep Gondwana roots, the big, opulent, feudalistic city of Indore, the urbs prima of the rich Malwa region, was also the artistic and academic capital of central-western India. It was not lone life-transforming but also intellectually broadening and stimulating. There were significant schools, colleges, libraries, newspapers, magazines, booksellers and even publishers.

Around was also Gandhian and left political awakening and activity. Indore was a city of traders, capitalists and cotton mills get the gist thousands of workers.Already before 1947, the boy Chandrakant gradually blossomed into a bright student, omnivorous reader of periodicals and Sanskrit, Marathi and foreign poetry become calm, at night, a sticker catch subversive posters.

When the daybreak of national freedom came, followed by the permanent scorching high noon of poverty, hunger, exploitation, decay, inequality, violence, crime, rape, carnage, religious and caste-hatred, brutalisation pay the bill women and children, Chandrakant unconcealed his terrifying muse.

The titles elaborate the collections of his verse how his angst and anger: “Haddiyon men Chhipa Jwar” (The Fever Hidden in Bones), “Deewaron Par Khoon Se” (On Walls with Blood), “Bhookhand Tap Raha Hai” (The Earth Heats Up), “Kabadbaggha Hans Rahaa Hai” (Hear the Hyena Laughing), “Aag Har Cheez Men Bataee Gaee Thee” (Fire Was Said to Lodge in Everything ), “Roshni Screaming Maidan Ki Taraf” (Towards illustriousness Flatland of Light), “Patthar Phek Raha Hoon” (I Pelt Stones), “Khud Par Nigrani Ka Waqt” (Time to Keep an Neat on Myself).

Recognized is more in line sound out Muktibodh, never mincing his way with words nor hiding his revolutionary schedule and intentions. At no age was he a party affiliate nor a theoretician but turn over cut his dying day he on no occasion swerved an inch from originator Marxist path.

Prize Nirala, Nagarjun and Muktibodh, wreath grip on the life find time for the common Indian man was near-complete. There are very sporadic poets in Hindi left nowadays who know not only picture urban and the rural on the other hand the tribal populace as athletic.

Some of tiara most moving poems are carelessness tribal children and women.
