What does it mean to be a Hindu nationalist in the twenty-first century?
In Postmodern History of Hindu Nationalists, Deepak Kamat takes readers on a sweeping journey through the figures, movements, and ideas that have shaped the Hindu nationalist imagination — from saints and reformers to politicians, intellectuals, artists, and even unsung grassroots workers.
Moving beyond simplistic binaries of left and right, secular and communal, this book presents a postmodern lens — one that acknowledges multiple narratives, cultural expressions, and ideological tensions. It explores the contributions of reformers like Swami Vivekananda and Dayananda Saraswati, visionaries like Savarkar and Hedgewar, modern leaders such as Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath, as well as cultural forces from cinema, art, and spirituality.
With its bold arguments, wide-ranging profiles, and accessible style, this book offers a unique perspective: that Hindu nationalism is not merely a political phenomenon, but a civilizational assertion — shaped by history, energized by faith, and continually redefined in the modern age.
Whether you are a student of history, a seeker of cultural identity, or simply curious about one of the most powerful movements of our time, this book will challenge assumptions and provoke reflection.

Deepak Kamat
Deepak Kamat was a journalist by profession and a practicing Hindutvavadi by conviction, who later transitioned into a seeker devoted to higher spiritual truths. After a transformative visit to the 2025 Kumbh Mela, he embarked on his onward journey to higher spiritual Lokas.
For over three decades, he dedicated himself to yoga, meditation, and the study of Hindu philosophy, with a special focus on the timeless wisdom of Advaita Vedanta. His teachings emphasized seeking and loving God, rather than fearing and blindly believing—a message that resonated deeply with spiritual aspirants across generations.
In his final years, Kamat turned inward, channeling his practice toward chakra activation and direct spiritual experience. A passionate preacher, he combined his journalistic clarity with spiritual depth, making complex truths accessible to ordinary readers.
His writings continue to serve as a window to his wisdom—bridging the worlds of cultural nationalism, dharmic revival, and inner spiritual awakening. Through his books, countless seekers have found inspiration to walk the path of self-discovery, devotion, and fearless truth.
