About the Author

John Law is a distinguished historian and travel writer whose works illuminate the rich cultural tapestry of South Asia, with a particular focus on the Deccan region. Born and raised in the bustling streets of Hyderabad, he draws from a lifetime of immersion in local traditions, architecture, and folklore to craft narratives that bridge historical epochs with contemporary life. Law's meticulous research and evocative prose have earned him acclaim for making complex histories accessible and engaging to a global audience. His debut book, Modern Hyderabad (Deccan), explores the city's evolution from a princely state to a modern metropolis, blending personal anecdotes with scholarly insights. A frequent contributor to literary journals, Law continues to advocate for the preservation of India's lesser-known heritage sites through his writing and lectures.
