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.
