Ramachandra Guha (born 29 April 1958) is an Indian historian and writer whose research interests include environmental, social, political, contemporary and cricket history.[1] He is also a columnist for The Telegraph and Hindustan Times.[2][3][4] A regular contributor to various academic journals, Guha has also written for The Caravan and Outlook magazines. For the year 2011–12, he held a visiting position at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), the Philippe Roman Chair in History and International Affairs.[5] His latest book is Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World (2018), the second part of the planned two-volume biography of M. K. Gandhi. It is a follow up to the acclaimed, Gandhi Before India (2013). His large body of work, covering a wide range of fields and yielding a number of rational insights has made him a significant figure in Indian historical studies, and Guha is valued as one of the major historians of the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries.

He was appointed to BCCI's panel of administrators {{clarify|date=January 2017}} by the Supreme Court of India on 30 January 2017 only to resign in July of the same year.[6]

Early life and education

Guha was born on 29 April 1958 at Dehradun, Uttar Pradesh (now in Uttarakhand), where his father Subramaniam Ramdas Guha worked at the Forest Research Institute,[7][8] and his mother was a high-school teacher.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}} While he should have been named Subramaniam Ramachandra in keeping with Tamil name-keeping norms, his teachers at school, presumably while registering his name during admission, were not familiar with these and he came to be called Ramachandra Guha.[7] He grew up in Dehradun, on the Forest Research Institute campus.[9][10]

Guha studied at Cambrian Hall and The Doon School.[11][12] At Doon, he was a contributor to the school newspaper The Doon School Weekly, and edited a publication called History Times along with Amitav Ghosh, later to become a noted writer.[13][14] He graduated from St. Stephen's College, Delhi with a bachelor's degree in economics in 1977,[15] and completed his master's in economics from the Delhi School of Economics.[16] He then enrolled at the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, where he did a fellowship programme (equivalent to a PhD) on the social history of forestry in Uttarakhand, focusing on the Chipko movement. It was later published as The Unquiet Woods.

Career

Between 1985 and 2000, he taught at various universities in India, Europe and North America, including the University of California, Berkeley, Yale University, Stanford University and at Oslo University (Arne Naess chair, 2008), and later at the Indian Institute of Science. During this period, he was also a fellow of Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin in Germany (1994–95).

Guha then moved to Bangalore, and began writing full-time. He served as Sundaraja Visiting Professor in the Humanities at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, in 2003. He is managing trustee of the New India Foundation, a nonprofit body that funds research on modern Indian history.

Guha was appointed the Philippe Roman Chair of International Affairs and History at the London School of Economics for 2011–12, succeeding Niall Ferguson.

Books

Guha has authored the chapter The VHP Needs To Hear The Condemnation Of The Hindu Middle Ground in the book Gujarat: The making of a tragedy, which was edited by Siddharth Varadarajan and published by Penguin ({{ISBN|978-0143029014}}). The book is about the 2002 Gujarat riots.

Guha is the author of India after Gandhi, published by Macmillan and Ecco in 2007. This book has been translated into Hindi in two volume namely "Bharat: Gandhi Ke Baad" and "Bharat: Nehru Ke Baad" and published by Penguin. The Tamil version of the book is published in the name "இந்திய வரலாறு காந்திக்குப் பிறகு ( பாகம் 1 & 2)" ("Indhiya varalaaru Gandhikku pin - Part 1 & 2") by Kizhakku and translated by R. P. Sarathy. The Bengali version of the book is published in the name "গাঁধী-উত্তর ভারতবর্ষ" by Ananda Publishers Private Limited and translated by Ashish Lahiri.

Guha also published a collection of essays titled 'Patriots and Partisans'[17] in November 2012.

In October 2013, he published Gandhi Before India, the first part of a planned two-volume biography of Mahatma Gandhi which describes life from his childhood to the two decades in South Africa.[18][19] Another collection of essays under the title Democrats and Dissenters was released in September 2016. Guha has authored books on a diverse range of subjects including Cricket, Environment, Politics, History, etc.[20]

In 2018, Guha published Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1948, completing his three-volume history of modern India.

Cricket

Guha has written extensively on cricket in both his capacity as a journalist and historian. His research into the social history of Indian cricket culminated in his work 'A Corner of a Foreign Field: The Indian history of a British Sport' in 2002.[21] The work charts the development of cricket in India from its inception during the British Raj to its position in contemporary India as the nations favourite pastime.

A self-confessed 'cricket tragic', Guha is also an outspoken commentator on the Indian national cricket team, being particularly vociferous in his opinions on current captain, Virat Kohli.

In July 2017 Guha stepped down from his position as a BCCIBoard of Control for Cricket in India administrator, citing personal reasons.

Personal life

Guha is married to the graphic designer Sujata Keshavan and has two children. On December 10, 2018, Guha took down a post on Twitter of him eating beef. He tweeted : "I have deleted the photo of my lunch in Goa as it was in poor taste. I do wish however to again highlight the absolute hypocrisy of the BJP in the matter of beef, and to reiterate my own belief that humans must have the right to eat, dress, and fall in love as they choose." [22]
