I was born in the 1990s, and like many others of my generation, I tried understanding the BJP and Narendra Modi without having recognised and understood the RSS first. This book helped me get that context right. Among many other things, it makes one understand how Narendra Modi is just a symptom of the environment that was created by the RSS.

RSS is India's most powerful organisation. Money and power have never been a problem for it. 38 out of 51 Indian ministers are folks from the RSS today, including India's Prime Minister and Home Minister.

Noorani makes his disgust for the RSS amply clear. He makes it known how intellectually bankrupt the organisation is, and backs it up with stellar research on the RSS' founding, growth, and secrets. He points out that RSS is against everything that the idea of India was created upon. The RSS even hates the figures of Indian history that are revered - it hates Asoka, a Buddhist emperor, it hates Akbar, a Muslim emperor, and it hates Nehru, an enlightened Hindu.

India is battling for its very soul, Noorani rightly says. Everything from our democracy to our constitution to our nation itself is under threat from a well-oiled, powerful organisation that has infected every arm of the state.

Nevertheless, for all its seeming invincibility, the author adds that the RSS will simply fail the test of time. And it is incumbent upon Indian intellectuals to expose the organisation for what it is. To protect Hind Swaraj from being replaced by Hindu Rashtra.

The idea of India was built by intellectuals. It will have to be saved by intellectuals.

First of all this is a majestic and scholarly work. Second, reading about RSS is very triggering and sad. There were so many possibilities, so many solutions and so many ways they could have been stopped by so many leaders at a lot of junctures. Or simply could have not given them clout (JP for eg).

RSS is an organisation built and run on a very uncouth racial outlook and Noorani does a very good job charting the path and founding principles to till date. Wooing Italian fascists (Moonji meeting Mussolini), Savarkar being in touch with german agents who gifted him Mein Kampf and the relationship between Hindu Mahasabha and RSS are all crystal clear. What is very shocking (perhaps it shouldnt be considering the fact that dehumanisation and otherisation comes so easily for Indians) this racial outlook is often whitewashed but mostly ignored by self proclaimed liberal Indians. Imagine calling ourselves a democracy while allowing outright genocidal organization to exist, grow and eventually rule us. I have no words. I really wish, the one leader who completely understood RSS and also had the clout - Nehru had stomped them out of existence.

But here we are. There is a long road ahead and we may not live to see the doom of RSS but we need start working immediately.If there is one takeaway from this nazi organisation it is their persistence and brutal consistency. We need a lot of it.

I believe RSS is a social organization who is Nationalistic & Social Organization that has been purposely defamed since 1947 by Congress party of India to remain in power since 1947. RSS is the only organization in India which along with Indian army goes proactively to save people during disasters. During the Kashmir Earth Quake they went and carried Kashmiri muslims out of earth quake zones. During the Kerala floods they carried christians out of flood areas, gave them food. Even now in Coronavirus they go to remote areas and poor muslim areas to give them food. But no mainstream media will put their photos in newspapers cause it does not suit the propaganda of Congress party. Cause if RSS gets positive publiscut this means muslims will start voting for BJP. RSS is not into politics, but because many of the BJP leaders were at one stage or other members of RSS. For 65 years congress fooled the hindus they kept the BJP out of politics by confusing the hindu voters and saying the RSS & BJP is evil. But in reality it is not this was the propaganda in news for 65 years, so hindus voted for congress, but now the congress was exposed due to many reasons and so now for 10 years the Hindus voted in mass majority to BJP, this is when congress party started creating propaganda by joining hands with Pakistani army and Pakistani ISI. In India the media is already help congress in fake propaganda, now even the Pakistanis make fake videos and send them to help out the congress party, In reality Pakistani army, ISI and Congress party was always one as both are agents of the British and the USA. The world 2% control media of the world and they have interest to keep congress in power in India. If any other party other then congress will come to power there will be development in India , poverty will be eradicated. But the nexus of India's enemies don't want that poverty eradication in pakistan and India. This is why in India the Pakistanis are taught hatred as part of the govt school curriculum.. This way Pakistani poor will be diverted towards India rather then development issues in own nation. In India meanwhile congress has always ruled with same strategy like the British divide & rule, they will constantly tell the muslims if you dont vote for congress the RSS will kill you, and it will confuse hindus by maintaining agenda that if you vote for BJP there will be no development. This is the strategy to keep BJP out of power it worked for 65 years but it does not work now for 10 years. so they are now doing riots in India funded by foreign enemies of India.

Your understanding of RSS is what you see in NDTV or congress propaganda machinery but the real RSS is quite different. There is a deliberate attempt to create hatred for RSS via fake books and fake videos spread by congress party. Congress, Pakistan ISI and Nehru parivar and its supporters are interested in painting a negative picture of RSS this is the only hope for congress survival in Indian politics. The reality is congress party of India and Pakistan ISI are partners hand in glove with British imperial powers.

Muslims speak from inside RSS

RSS is not against Islam, they are asking muslims don't become saudi culture, wahabhi culture. Be muslims practice your religion, but retain your hindu culture. take hindu as your geographical identity not as religion.

47000 muslims children study in RSS schools, 271 muslims teacher in RSS schools. Owaisi generates votes by hate politics to get muslims votes, just like congress uses divide and rule as a party policy.

Dont forget RSS is the only party which has a muslim wing called RMM , muslims who are part of RMM are nationalists and have a say in BJP working. I have never met anyone from RSS, but I met muslim member of RSS, after I met him, he changed my view about RSS, cause like you I use to read all kinds of shit from NDTV.

If you like Nationalism, or are a patriotic Indian irrespective of religion u will like RSS, so long you are not a hardcore wahabhi , cause wahhabism asks you to be more arab culture and not committed to your nation disconnect from your own roots,.so if you like the arab culture and feel that is more your identity you will not like RSS. But other then that all that you see in media is anti RSS propaganda of congress party to rule india.

Have you ever seen RSS doing these things -
1) stoning women for adultery,
2) Killing the Gays,
3) killing the non-believers ( kafirs ),
4) Doing ethnic cleansing to build an Islamic caliphate where non muslims will not have freedom of speech and have to live under sharia i.e islamic rule
5) chopping off the hands for stealing
6) Blasphemy laws to circumvent freedom of speech.

If you have not seen RSS doing these things then RSS is not ISIS. Any Yezidi child and girl can tell you that RSS is not ISIS.?

Congress party of India has been defaming RSS since ever and ever

I have said it before , I will say it again, India is a federation of failed & quasi-failed states.The rich & the goons rule , the middle class don't care & the poor are subject to unfathomable struggles , just to survive.

What is at stake is not only the Indian Dream. What is at stake is the soul of India.
Through 25 chapters and 550 pages Constitutional expert, Supreme court lawyer and author of over a dozen books, A.G. Noorani describe how a communal ideology takes shapes in modern India, its adherence towards nazism and fascism, divulge its act during independence moment, and how RSS advance with Ram.
Noorani's study unmasks the political ambitions of RSS. Though RSS is an organisation with no electoral participation it holds the most atrocious political agenda that is making of a 'Hindu Rashtra'. In a period where Indias dreams had been changed from tagorean 'Idea of India' to Savarkar's Hindutva, the book will give you a clear picture of history.
Decoding RSS means decoding one of the largest terrorist organisation, it's about studying how India's society become so communal and understanding how this country became a Jurassic park with two dinosaurs.
When justice is hampered to 5 Acres and Ram temple become an actuality in a secular country we should remember that the true ram of India had been murdered by RSS in 1948 January 30.
And yet, despite its reach and seemingly overwhelming political influence, the author shows that the RSS can be defeated. The soul of India can be rescued.

[Nagarajan · Rating 5 out of 5]

An insight into RSS formation, journey and functioning. Especially whats the role and standing on India's independence, Gandhi's assassination, formation & rise of BJP covering through extensive details and insights. A must read book to know about India's most powerful organisation and their funtioning.

[Sanjay Banerjee · Rating 4 out of 5]

A well-researched book providing the history of RSS since its inception and its role! Also provided in the Appendix are the numerous correspondences that its then Sarsanghchalaks carried out with ruling Govts from time to time.

[Ambika · Rating 5 out of 5]

A true tome on the right-wing organization, its history and propaganda machinery. I realize Christophe Jaffrelot's book is supposed to be the authoritative voice on this subject, but I am glad I picked this one up since it gave more recent insights up to the 2019 elections as well.

[Yogesh Beniwal · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very detailed and accurate account of things being told in a matter of fact manner rather than brainwashing narrative, a must read for people who want to find out what’s actually been happening in the country
