"The hundred-year journey of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh offers a unique window into the making of modern India. Founded in 1925 by Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, the RSS began as a modest effort to cultivate discipline, national consciousness, and selfless service among the youth. Over the course of a century, this initiative grew into one of the world's largest voluntary movements, influencing institutions, leadership, and civic life across the country. Yet, despite its long journey, tireless service, and extensive work in character-building, the RSS remains one of the most misunderstood organisations in India.

This book presents Sangh's remarkable journey with balance and reflection. It examines its role through key phases of India's history, including the freedom movement, the early years of nation-building, the challenge of the Emergency, and the changing realities of twenty-first-century India. Blending history, reflection, and analysis, the book introduces readers to the spirit and vision of an organisation that has played a distinctive role in shaping the moral and social consciousness of modern India."
