Ruskin Bond is an Indian author of British descent. India’s most adored writer Ruskin Bond, was born in Kasauli. Bond spent his early childhood in Jamnagar and Shimla. At the age of ten, Ruskin went to live at his grandmother’s house in Dehradun after his father’s death that year from jaundice. Ruskin was raised by his mother and stepfather. He did his schooling from Bishop Cotton School in Shimla, from where he graduated in 1950 after winning several writing competitions in the school including the Irwin Divinity Prize and the Hailey Literature Prize. He wrote one of his first short stories, “Untouchable”, at the age of sixteen in 1951. He moved to London and worked in a photo studio while searching for a publisher. After getting it published, Bond used the advance money to pay the sea passage to Bombay and settle in Dehradun. Since 1963 he has lived as a freelance writer in Mussorie, a town in the Himalayan foothills in Uttarakhand and lives with his adoptive family in Landour, Mussorie’s Ivy Cottage, which has been his house since 1980. About what he likes the most about his life, he said, “That I have been able to write for so long. I started at the age of 16 or 17 and I am still writing. If I were not a professional writer who was getting published I would still write.” In his essay, “On being an Indian”, he explains his Indian identity, “Race did not make me one. Religion did not make me one. But history did. And in the long run, it’s history that counts.”
