Born on 20 May 1942 in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, Pratap Pawar was one of 26 children! His father was an army man, thus raised an army at home of hot-blooded Marathas, who were ready to give their all to a cause. Pratap grew up in Dewas and studied in Indore and dance became his cause in life. A life in dance that took him to four continents; five countries where he lived and danced and taught Kathak, with the last thirty years in London. His story spans five decades of dancing and spreading the message of Kathak. Although he went to Narayan Mandir High school in Dewas, he went on to study literature and philosophy at college and thus was grounded in mythology and history. This helped him all through his dancing years to create productions based on Indian history and mythology. An avid reader, he remains till date, a reader of books and stories and regales in telling some.
