Biography
I have been a civil service officer, Indian Administrative Service, since 1964, now retired.In the last five decades I traveled to archaeological sites, religious institutions and mythological habitats in India and abroad. Drawing upon ancient history of Greece, Rome, Egypt, China and India, I have written and published two books - Legend of Ram - Retold (ISBN 9781451245929) and Radha: Folk Heroine or Divine Playmate(ISBN 81-903166-0-5). I am now writing two more books on mythology and ancient history and religion and would like to get in touch with publishers in the UK and the USA.
