Sita Ram Goel, author and publisher, is an important figure amongst late 20th century Hindu thinkers. He was born in 1921 and together with Ram Swarup he kept the flame of Hindu critique burning during the socialist years of Nehru. He died in 2003.

Proud of his Vedic heritage, he started as a poet, became a novelist, and ended as a commentator on Christianity, Islam, and Communism in the Indian context.
