About this listen

 The RSS is the most influential cultural organization in India today, with affiliates in fields as varied as politics, education and trade. This book fundamentally addresses three key questions: Why has the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliates expanded so rapidly over the past twenty-five years? How have they evolved in response to India's new socio-economic milieu? How does their rapid growth impact the country's politics and policy? Elections & Political Process Political Parties Political Science Politics & Government

Book is more of an essay, and written well to explain RSS philosophy, ways of working, evolution with changing times, organization etc and it's spread within Indian society and how it helps influence governments (or politics) in overt or covert ways. The thought leadership and its uncanny ability to mediate on tricky issues all speak volumes of its trained and disciplined cadre. Sumit has done a reasonably good job of narrating in an unbiased tone however, a few pronunciations could be better e.g. echelons, several south indian names etc. But overall it's well written and well paced.

A good book as a primer on RSS

The book does an amazing job of splitting open the often poorly understood RSS, going into the inspiration and ideologies that govern the organisation, its structure, its relationship to its various affiliates, its history and its stand on various social and political issues.

The authors have used several anecdotes from the RSS history and legendarium to draw sharp insights. Relying on a variety of clear sources, the subject matter is given an objective treatment, with very little political commentary or overtones. To be clear, what this book is not, is a condonement or indictment of the RSS or their activities and it does not try to either.

Anyone trying to make any sense of the current political climate that we live must definitely listen to this, irrespective of their own political inclinations.

The one big drawback of this audio book is the narration. There is a slight robotic tone to it, which can be jarring. However, the critical problem with the narration is the often misplaced pauses and pacing, which throws off the listener and sometimes results in a misunderstanding of the point being made.

I never had an idea about the rss , but some what on vhp. RSS has totally different goals than vhp. it is trying to integrate India. but the problem is what is spoken in the book is different from the real world.

Good book to know about RSS and VHP
