The RSS is the most influential cultural organization in India today, withaffiliates in fields as varied as politics, education and trade. This bookfundamentally addresses three key questions: Why has the RashtriyaSwayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliates expanded so rapidly over thepast twenty-five years? How have they evolved in response to India's newsocio-economic milieu? How does their rapid growth impact the country'spolitics and policy?
With unprecedented access, Walter K. Andersen and Shridhar D. Damle liftthe curtains to help us understand the inner workings of the Sangh. Backedby deep research and case studies, this book explores the evolution of theSangh into its present form, its relationship with the ruling party, the BJP,their overseas affiliates and so much more.
