M.S. Golwalkar, The RSS And India
M.S. Golwalkar, The RSS And India is a concise, probing examination of Hindutva and its political implications, offering readers a focused look at Golwalkar's influence on modern India. Written by Jyotirmaya Sharma, a distinguished political science professor, this book invites students, researchers, and curious readers to explore how Hindu nationalism has shaped institutions, discourse, and identity in contemporary India. The tone is thoughtful, educational, and challenging, with the aim of helping readers understand why this history matters today.
The book critically surveys Golwalkar's writings and speeches, tracing how his vision helped shape the RSS and, by extension, current political currents in India. Sharma situates Golwalkar within a broader historical debate, questioning the assumptions that underlie arguments for a Hindu nation and showing how Indological frames can color interpretations of Hindu identity. By drawing on detailed analysis, the author engages with parallels to other nationalist ideologies, including fascist currents, to illuminate the complexities and risks of such thinking.
Structured as rigorous yet accessible scholarship, this work blends historical contextualization with modern relevance. It presents ideas clearly, guiding readers through key concepts, contested debates, and the evolving discourse around Hindu nationalism. Whether you are a student, researcher, or simply curious about Indian politics, the book offers a careful, thoughtful entry point into a topic that continues to shape public life.
