    The RSS and the making of The Deep Nation

    Dinesh Narayanan

    4 December 2020

    This book is an objective and non-partisan account of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh, of which the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is the political front. It dives deep into the stand taken by the RSS on the watershed moments of India while cogently demystifying the organisation and destroying many myths related to it. Packed with interesting incidents and anecdotes, the book covers a wide range of topics from Hindutva to economic policy, Kerala to gender inequality in the RSS.
