== Works and literature == The subjects of his poetry are varied. Effects of both his wandering tendencies and activism, is evident in his middle and later works. His famous poems like ''Bādal kō Ghiratē Dēkhā hai'' ({{langx|hi|बादल को घिरते देखा है}}), is a travelogue in its own right. He often wrote on contemporary social and political issues. His famous poem ''Mantra Kavita'' (मंत्र कविता), is widely considered the most accurate reflection of a whole generation's mindset in India. Another such poem is ''Āō Rānī Hum Ḍhōēṅgē Pālakī'' ({{langx|hi|आओ रानी हम ढोएंगे पालकी}}), which sarcastically humiliates the then prime minister of India, [[Jawaharlal Nehru]], for the extravagant welcome thrown by him for [[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth]]. Besides these accepted subjects of poetry, Nagarjun found poetic beauty in unconventional subjects. One of his most astonishing works is a poem based on a show called ''With Sharp Teeth'' ({{lang|hi|पैने दाँतो वाली}}). Another such creation is a series of poems on a full-grown [[jackfruit]]. Because of the breadth of his poetry, Nagarjun is considered the only Hindi poet after [[Tulsidas]] to have an audience ranging from the rural sections of society to the elite. He effectively freed poetry from the bounds of elitism.
