Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala' ((ヒンディー語:सूर्यकांत त्रिपाठी 'निराला')) (21 February 1896〔(A history of Indian literature: Modern Indo-Arayan literatures ..., Volume 8 )〕15 October 1961) was one of the most famous figures of the modern Hindi literature. He was a poet, novelist, essayist and story-writer. He also drew many sketches. == Life == Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala', one of the most significant poets of modern Hindi, was born on 21 February 1896, in a Brahmin family of Midnapore in Bengal (originally from Gadhakola, Unnao,Uttar Pradesh).〔(Famous Personalities ) Unnao district Official website.〕 He was also a famous poet of Hindi Kavi Sammelan. Though a student of Bengali, Nirala took keen interest in Sanskrit from the very beginning. In time, through his natural intelligence and acquired knowledge, he became an authority on various languages – Bengali, English, Sanskrit, and Hindi. Nirala's life, barring short periods, was one long sequence of misfortunes and tragedies. His father, Pandit Ramsahaya Tripathi, was a government servant and was a tyrannical person. His mother died when he was very young. Nirala was educated in the Bengali medium. However, after passing the matriculation exam, he continued his education at home by reading Sanskrit and English literature. Thereon he shifted to Lucknow and then to Village Gadhakola of District Unnao, to which his father originally belonged. Growing up, he took inspiration from personalities like Ramakrishna Paramhans, Swami Vivekananda and Rabindranath Tagore. After his marriage at a young age, Nirala learnt Hindi at the insistence of his wife, Manohara Devi. Soon, he started writing poems in Hindi, instead of Bengali. After a bad childhood, Nirala had a few good years with his wife. But this phase was short-lived as his wife died when he was 20, and later his daughter (who was a widow) also expired. He also went through a financial crunch. During that phase, he worked for many publishers, worked as proof-reader and also edited ''Samanvaya''. Most of his life was somewhat in the Bohemian tradition. Since he was more or less a rebel, both in form and content, acceptance did not come easily. What he got in plenty was ridicule and derision. All this may have played a role in making him a victim of schizophrenia in his later life. He wrote strongly against social injustice and exploitation in society. Nirala died in Allahabad on 15 October 1961. The world of Hindi literature is remarkable for ideological and aesthetic divisions. But today, the same reviled Nirala is one of the very few people in Hindi literature who are admired and respected by almost all, across all divisions. Today, a park, ''Nirala Uddyan'', an auditorium, ''Nirala Prekshagrah'', and a degree college, ''Mahapran Nirala Degree College'', in the Unnao District are named after him.〔 His life-size bust has been installed at the main market square of Daraganj, Allahabad, a place where he lived for most of his life. His family still lives in Daraganj, Allahabad. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala'」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
