- Summary:
-
"RSS, School Texts and the Murder of Mahatma Gandhi: The Hindu Communal Project undertakes the novel experiment of juxtaposing three apparently quite different issues, the nature of the RSS school textbooks, the murder of the Mahatma and the basic Hindu communal ideology as articulated by Savarkar and Golwalkar. While deeply delving into all three aspects, it brings out the interplay among them." "The book brings home to us in a dramatic manner the threat communalism poses to our society, thus making it a must-read for the general educated reader, including politicians, political workers, social activists, journalists, historians and other social scientists."--BOOK JACKET.
