Kaka Hathrasi

Kaka Hathrasi

Kaka Hathrasi (Hindi: काका हाथरसी) is widely regarded as one of the greatest Hindi satirists. Born on 18 September 1906 in the North Indian town of Hathras as Prabhunath Garg, he wrote under his poetic alias "Kaka Hathrasi". Kaka wrote very sharp satires on the social and political evils, double morals, greed and corruption engulfing India at that time. Kaka's unique style of satires became very popular and is copied by many aspiring as well as established satirists in India.

Ashok Chakradhar, another renowned Hindi poet, is his relative, married to Kaka's niece.

He started "Kaka Hathrasi Purushkar", an award that is given annually to a Musician and a Poet for their services. He died in 1995.
