Biography
Jose Punnamparambil was born in 1936 May 10, at Edukkalam near Irinjalakkuda in Thrissur district. [1] He immigrated to Germany with a media study scholarship in 1966, after graduating with a degree in English Literature from the University of Mumbai. [2]

His contributions include 20 books and documentaries in German and Malayalam.
