I Will Take You to the Colony of the Chamars and Other Poems is a collection of seventy-four translated works originally published as ghazals, nazms, and poems in Hindi and Urdu by Ram Nath Singh 'Adam Gondvi'—the people's poet. With a pen as sharp as his convictions, Adam Gondvi gave voice to the struggles of the most marginalised, those trapped within an unjust social order. His poetry is simple yet powerful, drawn from the heart of a man deeply rooted in the everyday realities of India. At its core, his work shines a light on the plight of the oppressed—women, Muslims, Dalits—whose stories are too often overlooked. Grounded in his unwavering Marxist beliefs, Adam Gondvi's poetry remains timeless and relevant, carrying a message that continues to resonate: "We will write a new history of our times." Though Adam Gondvi—peasant, poet, and thinker—did not witness a revolutionary transformation in his lifetime, his words continue to inspire generations to imagine and work toward a more just and compassionate world. -- Adam Gondvi (1947–2011) was a renowned Hindi poet, celebrated for his revolutionary spirit and poignant portrayal of the struggles faced by marginalised communities in Indian society. His powerful, socially conscious verse earned him the Dushyant Kumar Prize in 1998 and the Maati Ratan Samman in 2007. Over his lifetime, he published three significant poetry collections: Dharti ki Satah Par (Surface of the Earth, 1987 and 2012), Garam Roti ki Mahak (The Smell of Hot Bread, 2000), and Samay se Mutbhed (Encounter with Time, 2010).
