Acharya Chatursen was a Hindi writer credited with being one of the very few Hindu Revivalist in Pre and Post Partition India who used his talent of being a writer to boost flagging Hindu morale. He was critical of various aspects of Hinduism as well as other religions, mainly Islam.

[edit] Career

His books are very historic and detailed in life in the Golden age of India .These books can be seen as a logical binding of history and philosophy and are worth recommending to anyone who is looking to know more about India before the advent of Islam and who also wants to see Hinduism in positive light.

He was a friend of Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, but he opposed Nehru's proposition of secular India. Nehru tried to ban his books after Congress came to power and accused Acharya Chatursen of fuelling tensions between Hindus and Muslims.

His works include:

  • Wayam Raksham
  • Vaishali ki Nagarvadhu (1948?) ISBN 81-7028-282-9 - based on the historical figure Amrapali, reviewed[1]
