[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1516020506001","data":"<p>While the Bachchan name carries a lot of weight in terms of power and influence today, it always surprises me that not a lot of people know the name was synonymous with arts long before the Angry Young Man of Bollywood would take the industry by the storm in the late 70s. The Bachchan family name would be popularised by the veteran thespian Amitabh Bachchan's father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, whom I considered to be an infinitely more intelligent person than his world famous son, as I'm sure he would agree. <\/p><p>Harivansh Rai Bachchan, as it turns out, is not just famous for giving birth to one of Hindi cinema's greatest actors, but is one of the greatest 20th century Hindi poets to have ever walked this planet. His work transcends time and is relevant even to this day with how astute his observations were, so famous were his poems that he achieved nationwide renown and fame, all with the twist of his pen. <\/p><p>There's plenty of videos online that do a perfect job in narrating his poems as they appear by people better than me, which is why I'll link a YouTube video doing the same at the end of this article for you to enjoy Bachchan Saab's poems. However, let us take a moment to remember one of the greatest literary giants of India on his death anniversary today on January 18th. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1516021756354","data":"SGmsqqDO8jI"}]
