Product Overview
An organisation like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, often described as “non-political,” has today become intensely relevant in national politics, and this short booklet examines whom the Sangh Parivar represents, along with its ideology and socio-political context. Drawing on the organisation’s own documents, it exposes the gap between appearance and reality—between the public face and the hidden mask.
