Aabhas Maldahiyar is an Indian architect, author, and historian with a deep passion for exploring history and storytelling through his work. Initially, during his student days, he was drawn to Marxist ideology, which influenced his early literary works. However, a transformative experience, particularly after visiting the Ajanta caves, led him away from Marxism. His transition is detailed in his non-fiction book "#Modi Again: An Ex-Communist’s Manifesto", which reflects his ideological shift.

Maldahiyar has authored both fiction and non-fiction, focusing on themes of history, politics, and architecture. He is also working on an ambitious multi-volume book series about the Mughal dynasty, exploring it through primary sources. His career also extends to urban design, with involvement in projects like the Namami Gange initiative aimed at rejuvenating the Ganga River​.
