Guha or Ghosh; they are both Great!! #AtoZChallenge

The authors that I am sharing with you for the alphabet H were long decided; even though the post was not prepared. Their names had been doing cartwheels in my mind’s blogging corner and yet I could not get this post on time!

Life loves throwing googlies to us and yesterday was one such time. I slept off right  in front of the page that I was editing with the laptop on my lap!! I was so bushed that I don’t even remember shutting it off!  So here I am a day late but with 2 great authors both tremendously talented with a great body of work to their credit. Let me know what you think?



First is Ramachandra Guha, a historian and biographer based in Bangalore. He has taught at the universities of Yale and Stanford, held the Arné Naess Chair at the University of Oslo, and been the Indo-American Community Visiting Professor at the University of California at Berkeley. He is the author of the book Gandhi before India & India after Gandhi, the first part of a planned two-volume biography of M. K. Gandhi. His large body of work, covering a wide range of fields and yielding a number of rational insights has made him a significant figure in Indian historical studies, and Guha is valued as one of the major historians of the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries.

He studied in Delhi, Oxford and Alexandria and is the author of The Circle of Reason, The Shadow Lines, In An Antique Land, Dancing in Cambodia, The Calcutta Chromosome, The Glass Palace, The Hungry Tide, and the first two volumes of The Ibis Trilogy; Sea of Poppies, and River of Smoke.
