Ruskin Bond is considered as one of the greatest Indian authors of the English language. His wide array of short stories, novels, essays, poems, travelogues, and articles in newspapers and magazines have inspired many a aspiring writers for the past six decades. Best known as a children’s story writer, Ruskin Bond has dabbled in a variety of genres, from ghost stories to ‘odes to nature’ to unrequited love stories. His writing career brought him fame, honours and a number of awards, including the Sahitya Academy Award (1992), Padma Shri (1991), Padma Bhushan (2014).
Ruskin Bond’s Life and Times
Born to Anglo-Indian parents, Aubrey Alexander Bond and Edith Dorothy Clerke, on 19 May 1934 in Kasauli, Ruskin Bond had a less than normal childhood as other Anglo-Indian kids of his age. By the age of ten, Bond had experienced living with princes and princesses in Jamnagar (Gujarat), studying in a boarding school in Dehradun, watching his parents separated and divorced, and finding out about his father's death, while he was in school. All these experiences influenced his stories throughout his life. His most loved childhood experiences stem from his father’s nurturing affection, his motherly ayah, his gardener named Dukhi, and the thousands of books he read. The first book he ever read was Alice in Wonderland, which still remains his favourite. Other preferred authors included Rudyard Kipling, Charles Dickens, Emily Bronte, Graham Greene, and Agatha Christie. All the incidents collectively marked a significant impression on Bond’s young mind.
Ruskin Bond was well-known in his school, Bishop Cotton School in Shimla, as a great debater, athlete, and writer. Even though, he was an average student in terms of academics, his writing talent was recognised as early as 1948, when he won the Anderson Essay Prize. He won the same award for three consecutive years, the only student to do so in the history of the school. His name is in fact, inscribed in the literary and academic Hall of Fame of the school. Apart from writing, Bond also won several trophies for his goal-keeping prowess in the school’s football team.
After completing his schooling, Bond went to England for further education. It was there that he completed and published his first novel, The Room on the Roof. This won him the John Llewelyn Rhys Memorial Prize (1957).
Bond spent four years in England, but his heart was back in India, where he was born and had spent some of his dearest days. He decided to return. According to him, he felt more comfortable around “peepal trees” on the slopes than “apple orchards” on the countryside, and he was more attracted to a life with the Indian masses, than the sophistication of British citizens. In his essay, On Being an Indian, he describes his relationship with India as one with “history” and not with “race” or “religion”.
