==Biography==&lt;br /&gt;
Shah was born in 1887 in [[Wadhwan]], [[Saurashtra (state)|Saurastra]], [[British India]]. After passing his [[Matriculation#India|matriculation exams]] in 1903, he worked as a school teacher before becoming a journalist in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sanj Vartaman&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. He subsequently worked for &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Rajasthan&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Jainoday&amp;#039;&amp;#039; as sub-editor and editor, respectively. In 1909, he joined &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Prajabandhu&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and continued working there till it became defunct in 1953. Through his articles in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Prajabandhu&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, he gave a new direction to [[Gujarati journalism]] by providing more serious and thought provoking editorials.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Kachot|first=Dr Sanjay|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Z9UhDQAAQBAJ&amp;amp;pg=PA67&amp;amp;dq=%E0%AA%9A%E0%AB%81%E0%AA%A8%E0%AB%80%E0%AA%B2%E0%AA%BE%E0%AA%B2+%E0%AA%B5%E0%AA%B0%E0%AB%8D%E0%AA%A7%E0%AA%AE%E0%AA%BE%E0%AA%A8+%E0%AA%B6%E0%AA%BE%E0%AA%B9#v=onepage|title=Madhyamo: Sansodhan ane Vishleshan|date=2015-01-02|publisher=RED&amp;#039;SHINE Publication.

Though he is popular as a novelist, he started his literary career writing [[Poetry|poems]]. His historical novels were inspired by Narayan Visanji Thakkur. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Avantinath&amp;#039;&amp;#039; translated his poems into [[Sanskrit]]. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Tapovan&amp;#039;&amp;#039; deals with the issue of the [[joint family]] system, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Vishchakra&amp;#039;&amp;#039; exposes evils in the society. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Kantakchhayo Panth&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, his last major project, extended over three volumes. The novel traces political thinkers from 1857 to 1961, the entire freedom struggle, and depicts the difficulty through the word &amp;#039;&amp;#039;kantak&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (throne). Some of the characters in these novels are historical, while some are fictitious.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PNI&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Jhaveri1978&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Jhaveri|first=Mansukhlal Maganlal|authorlink=Mansukhlal Jhaveri|title=History of Gujarati Literature|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DA0RAAAAMAAJ|year=1978|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|location=New Delhi|page=157|oclc=639128528}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
