Agam Singh Giri (Nepali: अगमसिँह गिरी, 27 December 1927 – 31 January 1971) was an Indian Nepali poet and lyricist from Darjeeling, India.[1][2][3][4] Agam Singh Giri, born on 27th December, 1927, he is generally regarded as the founding member of the Indian Nepali literature. He was an important figure, specially in reviving the love for one's own place. He was the first one to make an important distinction between Indian Nepali (those who were born in India) and Nepalese from Nepal. For any student of Political Science, History, or even a student taking keen interest in the history of the region, his work, "Yuddha ani Yoddha" is highly recommended.
