Rajiv Malhotra (born 15 September 1950) is an Indian-born American Hindutva activist, author and founder of Infinity Foundation, which focuses on Indic studies,[note 1] and also funds projects such as Columbia University’s project to translate the Tibetan Buddhist Tengyur.
Apart from the foundation, Malhotra promotes a Hindutva view on Indic cultures. Malhotra has written prolifically in opposition to the western academic study of Indian culture and society, which he maintains denigrates the tradition and undermines the interests of India “by encouraging the paradigms that oppose its unity and integrity”.
