An orthopaedic surgeon by profession with deep interest in ancient Indian history. Extensive research into Harappan civilisation of Bronze Age India has led to the creation of the Harappa series.
The first three books of the series have been published and the fourth one is on its way. Archaeological evidence has been used along with litereary evidence mainly from the Vedic corpus.
The first book, A Kangaroo Court was the product of a deep trauma sustained during his career.
