Background
Sharma was born in Lahore, Punjab, India (now in Pakistan) and was the oldest son of Dr.
Baijnath Sharma and Dayawati Pandit. Sharma's father was a civil engineer who served as Technical Advisor to governments in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Tanganyika and Libya and later retired to their ancestral property in Punjab as a farmer.
This colourful Punjabi village forms much of the backdrop of Sharma's novel, Days of the Turban.
