About this listen

 Hedgewar chronicles the untold story of the enigmatic founder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), whose vision for India's cultural revival continues to shape the nation's socio-political landscape. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, this biography traces Hedgewar's journey from an orphaned child in colonial India to the mastermind behind one of the world's most secretive organizations.Set against the backdrop of a country grappling with colonial rule, rising communal tensions, and the complexities of modernity, this book opens a window to Hedgewar's philosophy of cultural nationalism, his challenges with contemporaries like Gandhi, Nehru and Savarkar, and his transformative leadership. It explores his inner struggles to make sense of his own critique of Hindu society.More than a biography, this work is a window into the labyrinth of India's civilizational ethos, offering a nuanced perspective on the RSS's origins and its impact on India today. Hedgewar: A Definitive Biography is a must-read for those seeking to understand modern India's complexities through the life of one controversial, yet extraordinary man.

Great job in providing a balanced view. I knew nothing about Hedgewar prior to this book, and there a lot of gold nuggets in it. how can such a small number of people in the British Empire control such a large population and landmass? the answer shows us how we are today controlled by a handful of people and corporations.
Great information on the need for the RSS and western propaganda against them. Great job on the research and the reading was well done.
