Biography

Ramesh Chandra Shah was born in 1937 in the hilly village of Almora in the Indian state of Uttarakhand[1][4][8] in family with moderate financial means and educational background.[4] He graduated from Allahabad University and secured his masters (MA) in English literature from the same university in 1960.[2] He obtained a doctoral degree (PhD) on the thesis, Yeats and Eliot: Perspectives on India,[2] from Agra University and joined Government there as a faculty member.[1][6] He stayed at the college till his retirement from there as the Head of the English Department in 1997[6] after which he chaired Nirala Srijnanpith, a literary chair instituted by Bharat Bhavan[9] till 2000.[1]

Shah is credited with several books composed of poems, short stories, travelogue, essays and novels.[10][11][12] His first novel, Gobar Ganesh,[13] based on the lives of middle-class families in Almora, came out in 2004.[6] Vinayak, a 2011 work which is considered by many as an extension of his first novel, fetched him the Sahitya Academy Award in 2014.[5][8] Years earlier, the Government of India honoured him with the civilian award of Padma Shri.[7]

Shah survives his wife, Jyotsna Milan,[14] a Mumbai born writer[15] who died in 2014.[4] He lives in Bhopal.[6][15]
