Shri. Anil Mehta holds a Bachelor of Technology in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. He brings over 30 years of experience in research, development, and design in the chemical industry and holds 12 United States patents.
Driven by a longstanding interest in Indian history, particularly the history and chronology of ancient India, he retired early in 2018 to devote himself full-time to researching India’s historical and civilizational heritage. His research focuses on critically examining prevailing narratives of Hindu history, investigating colonial influences on Indian historical chronology, and evaluating textual, archaeological, genealogical, and multidisciplinary evidence relating to ancient India.
In September 2024, he published The History and Chronology of Ancient India: Undoing Distortions from Colonial Rule. The book has received favorable reviews from Midwest Book Review and recognition from the Independent Book Publishers Association Book Awards judges. Since its publication, he has delivered numerous lectures at institutions across the United States, exploring the historical evidence and interpretations surrounding the proposed compression of approximately ten millennia of Indian history into a much shorter chronological framework.
