Ratan Kaul – Author | Storyteller | Student of Indian Civilisation

I am Ratan Kaul, an author and independent scholar with a deep interest in Indian history, culture, and classical narratives. My work spans contemporary fiction, poetry, and interpretive storytelling drawn from India’s epics and Purāṇic traditions.

I hold a doctoral degree in Ancient History and have pursued long-term study of Indian scriptures, including the Vedas, Purāṇas, and epics such as the Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa. My engagement with these texts is both academic and narrative—seeking to make timeless stories accessible, reflective, and meaningful for modern audiences.

Alongside published novels and poetry, I create digital content through videos and short reels that retell episodes from Indian epics and explore themes from ancient Indian history. These works are intended for a global audience of readers, students, and history enthusiasts.

This website serves as a curated space for my books, videos, essays, and ongoing creative explorations.

…..Stories endure because they speak across time. My effort is to listen—and retell.
