H. S. Bhabra
Hargurchet Singh Bhabra (June 7, 1955 - June 1, 2000) was a British Asian writer and broadcaster who settled in Canada.
Bhabra was born in Mumbai, India and moved to England with his family in 1957. The family eventually settled in Beare Green, Surrey. From 1966 to 1973, Bhabra attended Reigate Grammar School.〔http://www.reigategrammar.org/ora2/form_lists/1974class_of.pdf#search=%22Hargurchet%20Bhabra%22〕 He was the only boy of Asian origin in the school, was highly regarded by his teachers, and an accomplished actor in school productions such as ''Much Ado about Nothing''. Regarded by his teachers as the most exceptional member of an exceptional year,〔Eilenberg, Max (2000). ("Obituary" ). ''The Independent'' (London), 27 June 2000.〕 he won a scholarship to Trinity College, Oxford where he studied English Literature.

Bhabra worked for six years in financial advertising in the City of London. In 1984, he resigned to complete ''Gestures'', a novel on which he had been working for years. He travelled and worked as a correspondent for a few years, which provided material for his career as a writer of fiction, under his own name and also as A M Kabal and John Ford. ''Gestures'' won a Betty Trask Award in 1987. It has been described thus: "With extraordinary force and subtlety, Gestures conducts the 'funeral rite over an entire way of life. . . a liberal, human, European culture which has finally disappeared'. The lines could stand as an epitaph for Bhabra himself. Infused with his own erudition, elegance and empathy, it was also - and to a great degree - an expression of his own sense of displacement."〔 Indeed, although he published in quick succession three thrillers — ''The Adversary'' (1986) and ''Bad Money'' (1987), and ''Zero Yield'' — the next few years were spent largely on travels to Egypt, Mexico and Latin America.
