Dinesh D'Souza is an Indian-American political commentator, author, and filmmaker known for his conservative viewpoints. Born on April 25, 1961, in Mumbai, India, he moved to the United States as an exchange student and later became a naturalized citizen. He graduated from Dartmouth College, where he was involved with the conservative Dartmouth Review.
D'Souza gained prominence through his books and films, which often critique liberalism, the political left, and what he perceives as historical distortions by progressives. Some of his notable works include books like The End of Racism (1995), Obama's America (2012), and The Big Lie (2017), as well as documentaries such as 2016: Obama's America and Hillary's America. These projects frequently argue that Democratic policies and figures undermine American values or distort history, often focusing on topics like race, socialism, and the Founding Fathers.
He’s a polarizing figure—admired by many on the right for his bold takes and criticized by the left for promoting conspiracy theories and selective narratives. In 2014, he faced legal trouble, pleading guilty to making illegal campaign contributions, for which he was sentenced to probation and a fine. Despite this, he’s remained active, especially on platforms like X, where he shares his views with a sizable following.
