Abraham Eraly (15 August 1934 – 8 April 2015) was an Indian writer of history, a teacher, and the founder of Chennai-based magazine Aside.

Abraham Eraly was born in the village of Ayyampalli in Ernakulam district, Kerala on 15 August 1934.

[5] The Gem in the Lotus covered its earliest period, while The Last Spring continued the narration to the end of the Mughal Empire.

Eraly's style of historical story-telling made him particularly approachable for non-historians but could also be used as a reliable source on the Mughal period in India.

[1] Abraham Eraly died at the JIPMER hospital on 8 April 2015, following a paralytic attack.
