Stanley Albert Wolpert (born December 23, 1927) is an American historian, biographer and novelist. He is emeritus professor of History at University of California, Los Angeles. He specializes in the modern political history of India and Pakistan.Stanley Albert Wolpert was born on December 23, 1927 in Brooklyn, New York, USA of Russian Jewish heritage. He arrived in Mumbai, India for the first time on February 12, 1948 while on an overseas sightseeing trip. Upon his arrival, Wolpert was fascinated and overwhelmed by the extraordinary outpouring of grief at the death of Mahatma Gandhi. Atop a hill, he witnessed numerous mourning Indians who were rushing to touch one of the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi as the ship in which the urn was placed weighed anchor, to sprinkle a portion of his ashes into the water below. He hardly knew anything about India or Mahatma Gandhi then. On returning home, he abandoned his career in marine engineering for the study of Indian history. He then went on to do his BA from City College, New York in 1953 and completed his MA in 1955 and Ph.D in 1959 from the University of Pennsylvania
