R. Shyam Nair is the pen name of a writer and storyteller whose works move between history, reflection, and imagination. His books explore human journeys — both personal and collective — blending lived experience with creative vision.

Known for his restless curiosity and uncompromising honesty, Shyam’s writing carries the voice of someone who has witnessed life in its extremes: success and solitude, dreams fulfilled and dreams deferred.

​​​​​​​The Rising Stone: An Epic Saga of Indus Valley is the latest step in his literary path — a weaving together of history and myth, memory and imagination — dedicated to those who shaped him and the stories he continues to tell.
