Early life
Agam Singh Giri, born on 27 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.[2]
Giri was born in a place called Maidan near Chourasta. His original name was Hemraj Giri.
