History
Om Juneja was born in Midh Ranjha, Pakistan, in 1941. His family was forced to leave their home when they received news that an attack on their village was imminent. The family was separated when his father and stepbrother took flight to Delhi to prepare living arrangements for them while the rest of the family had to journey by road. The family stopped in various refugee camps where conditions were poor and many of the refugees, including his brother, were murdered on the way. Eventually, the family was reunited in Delhi.
He taught in the Department of English at Maharaja Scindhia (Sayajirao) University of Baroda, India, and has done postdoctoral research at Concordia University. His poems in Hindi and English have been published in Indian periodicals.
