Rajkavi Inderjeet Singh Tulsi (2 April 1926 – 11 May 1984), was an Indian patriotic poet, Bollywood lyricist, and author.

Tulsi was born on 2 April 1926 to Sardarni Basant Kaur and Sardar Mool Singh in Kanakaccha, Lahore, present-day Pakistan but then India.

As he was the only son, his mother who taught Shabads and Kirtans (Sikh Hyms), would hide and cover him in white sheets until the age of 12, out of fear that people would kill him and snatch their land.

In 1947, the partition between India and Pakistan and the environment due to that split at the moment, inspired him to continue his writing, while working for the Indian Railway.

Tulsi's eldest son was a Punjabi Film Director and Oil Transport Businessman and granddaughter, Simran Judge is an American-Indian actor and model, who has appeared in several tv commercials, walked the runway for Lakme Fashion Week in India and was the lead of Ashutosh Gowariker's Everest.

During this time, Tulsi became very close to Indian Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who was very impressed by his poetry and was very fond of him.

During the Sino-Indian War, Tulsi was sent by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to the frontier areas of Ladakh to boost the morale of the soldiers.

A few years later, Manoj Kumar was attending a Kavi Darbar, where he heard Rajkavi Inderjeet Singh reciting one of his poems.
