In its centenary year, this book sets out to document its fascinating history, warts and all.\u003cbr\u003e\nDrawing on thirty years of ground reporting, seasoned political journalist Vijai Trivedi explains the inner workings of a gargantuan system that calls itself a cultural organisation working for the uplift and unification of the Hindu Rashtra. Through primary research and interviews with senior RSS cadres as well as ground workers, he peels back the many layers of RSS’s hundred-year history, including its role in the freedom struggle, the Emergency and the Ram Janmabhoomi movement.\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom the Sangh’s early consolidation under Hedgewar and Golwalkar to the rapid growth of its network of affiliates, its impact at diverse levels in the public sphere, its relationship with the ruling party, past and present—this book explores every aspect of the organisation’s evolution with exemplary attention to detail and nuance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nVijai Trivedi has travelled across the country and abroad in pursuit of news and worked in nearly every form of media—radio, print, television, digital and podcasts.
