He is the 1st ever Indian poet to win Sahitya Akademi award for English poetry. He is the author of such popular poems as "Indian Summer and Hunger" which are regarded as classics in modern Indian English literature. He is also a winner of Padma Shri award. He comes to news in last few months when he returned his award against the rising of intolerance in India.
