Tuhin Amar Sinha is an Indian author of political thrillers, romance novels and non-fiction works. [1] [2] Since 2016, he has been a spokesperson for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). [1] [3]

[5] He also holds a postgraduate diploma in communications management and advertising from the National Institute of Advertising, New Delhi. [5] [6]
Sinha worked for a year in TV ad sales. [4] He moved to Mumbai to find work in the entertainment industry. [4] Having tried unsuccessfully to become an actor, he took a scriptwriting course and began writing for TV; [7] then turned to books, debuting with That Thing Called Love in 2007. [4] [8] This was followed by 22 yards in 2008 [8] and Of Love and Politics in 2010. [9] Sinha proceeded to write political thrillers and romance novels as well as Daddy, a non-fiction book on parenting (2015), [10] and two books on politics, one with former BJP president Nitin Gadkari. [11] [12] In 2021, he published the historical novel The Legend of Birsa Munda (2021), a dramatized account of the life of 19th-century religious leader and tribal revolutionary Birsa Munda, co-written with Ankita Verma, [13] [14] followed in 2022 by the non-fiction book The Great Tribal Warriors of Bharat, co-authored with Ambalika.

On 31 January 2014, Sinha joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP); in December 2016, he was appointed spokesperson for Mumbai region. [1] Sinha was subsequently included in the national media team of BJP. [16]
In 2016–2017, Sinha was on the Steering Committee of the national #HaveaSafeJourney (#HASJ) awareness campaign, a road safety initiative by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. [17] [18] In 2017, Sinha filed a plea against Rahul Gandhi, then vice-president of the Congress Party, in the Delhi High Court, alleging that Gandhi had violated the Special Protection Group Act by giving his security detail the slip; the court refused to rule on the matter, saying security was a matter for the government. [19]
Reviewing for The Hindu, Reshmi Kulkarni found Of Love and Politics to be a "more head-spinning than heady" political thriller with occasional splashes of romance. [9] Reviewing The Edge of Desire, Kulkarni found the work to be a one-time-read that suffered from the intense cramming of a multitude of political affairs. [20] Sayoni Aiyar for News18.com deplored how Sinha's female lead character defined herself entirely by relationships with men in her life. [21]
Reviewing for The Deccan Chronicle, Omkar Sane panned Let The Reason be Love as an epitome of mediocrity and predictability. [22] Sinha's non-fiction book on childcare, Daddy (2015), was described in The New Indian Express as written for "new-generation fathers." [23]
