Record Type: Person
Kālidāsa (Indian epic poet, dramatist, flourished 5th Century CE)

Note: Sanskrit poet and dramatist, considered the greatest Indian writer of any epoch. As with most classical Indian authors, little is known about Kalidasa’s person or his historical relationships. His poems suggest but nowhere declare that he was a Brahman (priest), liberal yet committed to the orthodox Hindu worldview.
