Sita Ram Goel (16 October 1921 – 3 December 2003) was an Indian Hindutva political activist, writer, and publisher known for his literature pertaining to Hinduism and Hindu nationalism in the late twentieth century.

His work has been both celebrated and criticised for its bias towards Hindu nationalism and its controversial portrayal of other religions, particularly Islam and Christianity.

[3][4] Sita Ram Goel was born to a Hindu family in Punjab, in 1921; though his childhood was spent in Calcutta.

His sympathies for the Arya Samaj, the Harijans and the Indian freedom movement, along with his strong support for Mahatma Gandhi, brought him into conflict with many people in his village;[7] Goel also learned to speak and write Sanskrit during his college days.
