Ajay Date

-:ABOUT THE AUTHOR:-

Ajay Date is a writer, thinker, and social commentator who grew up in rural Maharashtra, gaining early exposure to a different set of social realities and human psychology than typically seen in urban India. A graduate and post-graduate of Fergusson College, Pune, he went on to build a distinguished 30-year career in the IT industry, took him to living in multiple countries holding senior leadership positions further exposing him to diverse social realities.

Over the past 15 years, Ajay has served on the boards of several NGOs, and is actively involved in social service and community development initiatives. His diverse experiences—ranging from grassroots interactions to global corporate environments—have shaped his nuanced perspective on Indian society.

A devoted student of Hindu philosophy and scriptures, Ajay now focuses on spiritual study, writing, and promoting awareness of lesser-known historical and social issues. His latest book presents, in English, the rarely discussed but significant atrocities faced by the Brahmin community in the aftermath of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination—an effort to bring justice through remembrance. The original work was written in Marathi by Ajay’s father, Ranga Date, with significant contributions from Ajay himself. Together, they felt a compelling need to bring out an English version to ensure that these suppressed truths may reach a wider audience and find their rightful place in the historical discourse.
