Haldhar Nag

Class three dropout Padma Sri winner Haldhar Nag. He is a great poet from Western Odisha. There are four PHD papers on him. BBC made a documentary on him as well. His life and work is a case study in Harvard University. This year he was awarded with the Padma Sri. Many may not be knowing, he was nominated for Nobel literature in the year 2008.
Down to earth and a great human being. He is humble and never wore a footwear in his entire life.
