Shrinkhal Khemraj is a child poet of an era of transition from post-modernism to post-humanism. And he is worried about all the things which are vanishing as a result. The vanishing things have made his dreams nightmarish.
He was born into a Buddhist family. Converts to Buddhism from a Dalit background, his family believes in and upholds progressive and pro-people values. His family has inherited the philosophy of Lokayat, Buddha and Kabir and they resonate in the subjects picked by Shrinkhal for penning his poems.
