Thakur Gadadhar Singh (1869 - 1920) was an Indian soldier and author. He wrote several travelogues and commentaries. Singh is considered to be the founder of the Hinditravel literature genre alongside Bharatendu Harishchandra,[1] and his travelogue Chin Me Terah Mas (Thirteen Months in China) is often considered one of the first book-length overseas travel narratives written in Hindi.[2]
