Early Life
edit
Seth was born on 20 June 1952 in
Calcutta
. His father, Prem Nath Seth, was an executive of
Bata Shoes
and his mother,
Leila Seth
, a
Barrister
by training, became the first female judge of the
Delhi High Court
and first woman to become
Chief justice
of a state High Court in India.
Seth was educated at the all-boys' private boarding school
The Doon School
in
Dehradun
, where he was editor-in-chief of
The Doon School Weekly
At Doon, he was influenced by his teacher, the mountaineer
Gurdial Singh
, who taught him geography and according to Leila Seth, "guided Vikram in many ways...encouraged him to appreciate Western classical music and instilled in him a love of adventure and daring."
Singh later described Seth as an "indefatigable worker, and he maintains without difficulty his distinguished level in studies...he has put in an enormous amount of energy in other spheres of school life, in dramatics, in debating, in first aid, in music, and in editing the Doon School Weekly."
After graduating from Doon, Seth went to
Tonbridge School
, England, to complete his
A-levels
Later he read
Philosophy, Politics and Economics
at
Corpus Christi College
Oxford
. He then pursued a PhD in Economics at
Stanford University
, though he never completed it.

Seth commented on the
Indian general elections held during the summer of 2024
saying that "we live in a better situation now than we lived a month ago". He made this comment less than a month after the elections were over and a new coalition government had been sworn in. Seth said "at least now there is somewhat of limitation on autocracy."
11
On the recent sanction
12
to prosecute the author
Arundhati Roy
, he noted that it was "craziness."
11
Personal life
edit
Seth is
bisexual
. He was in a relationship with the violinist
Philippe Honoré
for ten years and dedicated his novel
An Equal Music
to him.
13
14

Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code
, a law against
homosexuality
13
When Section 377 was reinstated in 2013, Seth continued campaigning against the law.
