Background
Information
|
|
Born in 1954 in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Teaching in the English department of the University of Allahabad since more than thirty years.
Son of a landed agriculturalist and a talented mother, I was under the shadow of two brothers and two sisters who were highly accomplished. My father told me a number of stories and was a major formative influence on me.
I have been a teacher of English Literature at the University of Allahabad for over three decades. I've taught Shakespeare and could not escape being struck by his magic. Contemporary literary theories have further made me think and write in certain ways. Life in the Indian Sub-continent has constructed my consciousness of what we are and what the West is.
