'''Asit Krishna Mukherji''' (1898-March 21, 1977) was a Bengali Brahmin with [[Nazism|Nazi]] convictions who published pro-[[Axis Powers|Axis]] journals. He married [[Savitri Devi]] in 1940 in order to protect her from [[deportation]] or [[internment]].

==Biography==
Mukherji attended the [[University of London]] taking a [[doctorate]] in [[history]]. After graduating, he traveled in the [[Soviet Union]]. Unimpressed with [[Marxist]] [[materialism]], he turned down several offers to work for [[Communist Party of India|communist]] [[newspaper]]s back in [[India]]. He began, instead, to publish ''[[The New Mercury]]'' in collaboration with Sri [[Vinaya Datta]]. Openly proclaiming its support for [[Nazi Germany]] and [[Aryan]] [[racism]], it expressed admiration for the [[Racial policy of Nazi Germany|race laws]] and [[History of Ancient Greece|Hellenic ideals]].
In January 1938, Mukherji met [[Savitri Devi]] who was deeply impressed with his knowledge of Nazism. They married on June 9, 1940, in [[Calcutta]].

After ''[[The New Mercury]]'' was closed down by the [[United Kingdom|British]] government, he began publishing ''[[The Eastern Economist]]'' in collaboration with the [[Japan]]ese legation from 1938 to 1941.

Mukherji used his connections with [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] and the [[Japan]]ese authorities to put them in contact with one another, thus facilitating the formation of the [[Indian National Army]].

After the war he made his living as a fortune telling [[astrologer]] and had Savitri's books printed.
