Biography
I earn my bread as a technical writer and editor but in my free time, I like to pore over history books. Ancient India fascinates me. Over the years, I must have read scores of books on the subject. I like to think that I can double-think: hold all of the differing opinions of historians and archaeologists in my brain, and yet be swayed by none. Through the articles on this website, I strive to present my readings and learnings in as unbiased a manner as I am capable of.
