Abraham Eraly (15 August 1934—8 April 2015) was an Indian writer of history, a teacher, and the founder of Chennai-based magazine Aside.

Early life

Abraham Eraly was born in the village of Ayyampalli in Ernakulam district, Kerala on 15 August 1934.[1] He studied History at a college in Ernakulam and followed it up with a post-graduate degree in the same subject at Madras Christian College in Chennai.[1] He became a Professor of History at MCC in 1971.[1]

Bored with the monotony of teaching,[3] Eraly resigned his professorship in 1977 and founded the Chennai-based magazine Aside, India's first English-language city magazine. Following financial difficulties, it closed in 1997.[4]

Literary career

Eraly's earliest publications were poems and short stories.[5] His historical writing career started while at Madras Christian College.[1] Dissatisfied with the material he used to teach history, he began to write a series of books on Indian history.[5] The Gem in the Lotus covered its earliest period, while The Last Spring continued the narration to the end of the Mughal Empire.

In 2014, he published a book on the Delhi Sultanate, The Age of Wrath.

Later life

In 2011, Eraly moved to Pondicherry, where he lived in Sarathambal Nagar.[1]

Abraham Eraly died at the JIPMER hospital on 8 April 2015, following a paralytic attack.[1]
