About Me
Krishna Kumar studies, evaluates, and analyzes historical events, placing particular emphasis on the period of British occupation in India.
Two chance events ignited his passion for history and analysis. First, he received a book about Napoleon as a gift, and second, he participated in a discussion about an Indian historical figure, where he adhered to the standard narrative but was corrected by others. His father and father’s friends, who were part of India’s freedom struggle, offered many insights during his formative years. He fondly remembers exploring his parents' extensive library, which is now sadly lost. Conversations about history and world politics were common at dinner and afterward.
As a result, he became an avid reader, often examining the reasons behind events and their connections before drawing conclusions. His enthusiasm for analyzing history and global occurrences stayed strong, even as he pursued a career unrelated to these interests.
Krishna received a management education and became an entrepreneur in India before eventually relocating to the U.S. He also traveled to various continents and countries outside of India, visiting numerous historical sites and museums.
Five years ago, he retired from business and began dedicating his time to thoroughly analyzing and studying Indian history in search of the truth, becoming an analytical writer.
By examining history from an Indian perspective and focusing on uncovering various layers while clearing away the cobwebs of misinformation, he aims to present events alongside their economic implications through meticulous research and sharp analysis, ultimately revealing the truth to his readers.
His first book, the non-fiction ‘1942 When the British Rule In India Was Threatened', is a captivating narrative that delves into the events of this crucial year in Southeast Asia and their role in the end of colonial rule for India. Based on book reviews, Amazon's summary says: ‘Customers find the narrative flow engaging and profound. They appreciate the insightful analysis and detailed rendering of each scene. Readers describe the writing style as comprehensive, elaborate, and well-penned. They also mention that the themes are educational and captivating, highlighting the courage and determination of those who fought against.’
His upcoming second non-fiction book will provide a thorough perspective on India's fight for freedom from 1900 to 1946.
In fiction, his works are shaped by historical events and their effects on life.
Krishna grew up in India and now lives in the United States with his family.
