Bal pursued his undergraduate education in Mechanical Engineering from BITS Pilani.[7] He then went on to pursue an MS in mathematics from New York University, USA.[8][9]
Bal has co-written a novel called A Certain Ambiguity which won the 2007 Association of American Publishers award for the best professional/scholarly book in mathematics. His second book--"Waters close over us"—is part-travelogue and partly a sociological, political, artistic, historical, and anthropological commentary.[10][11][12][13]
In November 2013, Bal was controversially fired from his position of political editor of OPEN magazine.[14] In an interview, OPEN's former Editor Manu Joseph revealed that the magazine's proprietor, Sanjiv Goenka, had told Joseph that Bal's views, expressed in his writings and in television appearances, were resulting in him "making a lot of... political enemies."[15]
