Bollywood songs written by late Indian PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Late Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who is not only known as a towering political figure, he was also a revered poet.

"My poetry is a declaration of war, not an exordium to defeat. It is not the defeated soldier's drumbeat of despair, but the fighting warrior's will to win. It is not the de-spirited voice of dejection but the stirring shout of victory," Vajpayee said, according to Zee News.

He breathed his last on August 16, 2018, at 5.05 pm.
