From the echoes of the past, the stories that shape us rise — waiting to be heard, remembered, and imagined.”

About
Shankar Kashyap is a historian, author, and visual artist based in the United Kingdom. A retired orthopaedic surgeon, he has published widely — from historical fiction inspired by the Harappan civilization and Rigvedic traditions, to poetry collections and true-crime narratives. His work blends rigorous research with narrative depth, offering readers both insight and immersive storytelling. Beyond the written word, Shankar is also a painter, with a body of oil and watercolour works exhibited locally in the UK and online in India. Through both his writing and painting, he explores history, culture, and the human experience, inviting audiences to see the world through a lens of curiosity, reflection, and artistry.
It gives me a great pleasure to announce the Book Launch of Harappa:The Lure of Soma on 19th October at India International Centre, New Delhi. Dr Kapila Vatsayan, the noted scholar/historian, author of numerous books and winner of several awards including Sangeeth Natak Academy award and Padma Vibhushan will be the Chief Guest.
