Shankar Sharan's examination of the RSS and its affiliated organisations does not come from the usual directions — neither from liberal critics outside the Sangh nor from loyalists within it. Over two decades, Sharan assembled something rarer: the views of independent scholars, writers, and longtime Sangh volunteers who measured the organisation not against its declared ideology but against a single question: has it actually served the interests of Hindu society?
The result is eight decades of Sangh Parivar politics seen through a specifically Hindu lens. Sharan includes his own contemporaneous observations alongside those of others — a layered record rather than a single polemical argument. The criticism here, where it appears, is Hindu in character: it asks whether the organisation and its political expressions have delivered on what Hindu society most needed, and where the answer is no, it says so plainly.
For readers tired of analyses that either celebrate or condemn the Sangh wholesale, this book offers a more searching and internally consistent standard of judgment.
उस पर बनी-बनाई, अच्छी-बुरी मान्यताओं से हट कर यह उन बुनियादी मुद्दों पर आधारित है, जिन से हिन्दू समाज का हित प्रभावित होता है । इस में स्वतंत्र विद्वानों, लेखकों, तथा संघ के पुराने स्वयंसेवकों के विचार शामिल हैं । साथ ही, गत दो दशक में समय-समय पर लेखक के अपने अवलोकन भी संकलित हैं । इस तरह, यह पुस्तक गत आठ दशकों में संघ परिवार की राजनीति की एक परख है । इस पड़ताल की कसौटी कोई मतवाद नहीं, वरन हिन्दू समाज का हित है।
