RSS: The Bhagwat Way

Mythicised or misunderstood, RSS is an organisation whose influence is a permanent topic of contention. Its doors seldom open to outsiders, its leaders hardly speak to the public, and, at 90, it is still steeped in secrecy and moulded by a culture of austerity and discipline. Is the Sangh changing faster under the leadership of Mohan Bhagwat, the possible reforms including its attitude towards Muslims and women? Advaita Kala gains access to the cloistered world of RSS
