Devavrata

-:ABOUT THE AUTHOR:-

Devavrata has been deeply interested in politics and history since childhood. Initially drawn to leftist ideologies, his perspective shifted during his adolescence after observing the Ayodhya Shri Ram Temple movement, leading him to critically reevaluate Marxism. This prompted him to explore the role of religion and comparative theology in shaping human history. Over time, his focus expanded to sociology and social history. His research into the political, social, and cultural history of the Bengalis, along with their ongoing existential challenges, led to the publication of his first book, Bangalitwai Amader Hindutwa: Amader Jatisatta O Rashtrasattar Parichay (Bengaliness is Our Hinduness: Recognizing Our Ethnicity and Nationality), in 2022. The book saw a second edition in 2023, featuring an introduction by Kausik Gangopadhyay, the co-author of this work.
