He is the author of the critically acclaimed Night of the Restless Spirits (Penguin Random House)  a collection of short fiction about 1984 and the bestselling The Camel Merchant of Philadelphia, (Westland/Tranquebar) set in the court of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. We discuss his books, the continued impact of the events of 1984 upon the Sikh collective and he offers advice for aspiring writers.Every book we publish, every podcast we produce, and every resource we create exists for one purpose: to preserve stories, recover voices, and build a lasting library for the Panth. The Khalis Audio Library is, and always will be, a free resource for the Panth.
