"India turns 79 this year and Bapu, 92. In nine decades, Bapu has been a rare observer of the fascinating saga of a country's birth, its fractures, and its many competing narratives.
He has silently worked among the people, as a Sangh Pracharak, and when needed, a teacher, friend, leader, and farmer. From humble beginnings in Vadodara, Bapu has lived through our nation's defining moments -independence, Gandhi's partition, assassination, emergency, early wars, and the rise of new political forces.
This book offers a raw, unvarnished story of India, giving readers a rare glimpse into parallel histories beyond official versions, while tracing Bapu's deep association with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
'Devdas Apte Bapu: India's Untold Story', based on years of extensive research and long interviews with Bapu, spans from the mid-19th century to the present day, and brings a fresh perspective on India's social and political evolution."
