Cover Story
A voice carried from the small town of Bihar to the newsrooms, film studios and publishing houses of Mumbai.
Rajesh Kumar Sinha was born in Patna, Bihar, and began writing Hindi prose and poetry in the 1980s. Since relocating to Mumbai in 1987, he has built a long, layered career across literary writing, technical translation, documentary scriptwriting and magazine editing — work that has earned him a National Award, a shelf of published books, and four decades of bylines in the national press. As a poet, he has written more than a thousand poems in Hindi, only a portion of which have found their way into his published collections.
