Sant Ram Udasi (20 April 1939 – 6 November 1986) was one of the major Punjabi poets emerging out of the Naxalite movement[1] in the Indian Punjab towards the late 1960s, writing about revolutionary and Dalit consciousness. Lok Kavi Sant Ram Udasi Memorial Trust (International) was established as a research foundation focusing on the life and works of Sant Ram Udasi.[2]

During the 1970s he wrote three collections of poetry:

  • Lahu Bhije Bol (Blood-soaked Words)
  • Saintan (Gestures)
  • Chounukrian (the Four-edged)
