D’Souza is a long-time membership holder of the country’s ultraconservative community that holds its existence nearly from two decades. He was born in Mumbai, India, to Goan parents and had arrived in U.S back in the year 1978, originally through a Rotary scholarship. D’Souza holds a graduate degree from Dartmouth College and became a policy advisor at a very young age in Ronald Reagan’s White House in 1988.

Besides, the Indian community has also criticized D’Souza and was accused by an activist back then as a "Ku Klux Klan lapdog in a first generation immigrant's garb." In an interview held in the year 1995, D’Souza said that he was not amazed that his work grabbing attention and wanted his wok to "raise some eyebrows and cause some controversy," reports The Times of India.

The Time Magazine described his book entitled End of Racism as "one of the creepiest (books) to appear in recent years.” And the New York Daily News described the film as "catnip for folks who want to believe there's something sinister about Obama," and said it "distills the phoniest strain of conservatives' four-year critique of Obama," reports TOI.

D'Souza was quoted saying "It is a documentary and investigation into who Obama is, the individuals that influence him as he grew up and the source of his ideas-his inner compass,” reports TOI.
