Brahmin Asit Krishna Mukherji
Asit Krishna Mukherji (1898-March 21, 1977) was a Bengali Brahmin with National Socialist convictions who published pro-Axis journals. In order to protect her from deportation or internment, he married esoteric Hitlerist Savitri Devi in 1940. Mukherji attended tbe University of London taking a doctorate in history. After graduating, he traveled in tbe Soviet Union. Unimpressed with Marxist materialism, he turned down several offers to work for communist newspapers back in India. He began, instead, to publish tbe "New Mercury" in collaboration with Sri Vinaya Datta.[1][2] Openly proclaiming its support for Germany, it expressed admiration for tbe race laws and Hellenic ideals. Mukherji recognized parallels between tbe Third Reich and Hindu nationalism: common use of tbe swastika on tbe NS and pan-Hindu flag; tbe similarity of tbe Hitler Youth and K.B. Hedgewar's Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh boys and tbe challenging of British authority.
