 The present Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi wrote a message appreciating the translation of Rashmirathi into English by the Mauritian cultural activist Leela Gujadhur Sarup by writing, ""The story of 'a man blessed by the Gods but rejected by Destiny', Rashmirathi is the magnum opus of the Poet laureate of India, Ramdhari Singh, known to all as Dinkar.Reproducing its original in moving English poetry has been a labor of love for Mrs. Leela Sarup, taking her years to do it justice.This will enable a wider range of non-Hindi readers to savor the heart-wrenching lyrical poetry of Dinkar.""
