Wealth of info never before known to even Swayamsevaks like me for over 27 years. Especially the portions on later Sarsanghachalaks Deoras ji, Rajju bhaiyya ji and Sudarshan ji

Book name: The saffron surge: untold story of RSS LeadershipAuthor : Arun AnandNo. Of pages: 216Finally finished this book, it was a very long and difficult read for me. it is a nonfiction book, revolving around RSS Rastriya Swayamsevak sang. It is truly an untold story. Before reading this book, I didn’t know about existence of RSS and I believe many of us wouldn’t know about. I am particularly not interested in such books, and hence it was very difficult for me to get through and probably took too much time also. But one particular reason I chose this book despite not being interested in the genre is, I wanted to know this untold story. I had always loved listening to the stories from the times before independence and during independence, and in schools we have read about various organizations but I had never read or heard about RSS. And its kind of felt I was missing on something important and I wanted to know. And it is very important to know about RSS. And I believe this story is worth knowing, RSS deserves to be known. The book is written in a very easy language, and has discussed about each sarsangchalak in detail. This book is informative and very inspiring. I would recommend this book to all, as I feel it is an important organization which deserves to be recognized

Nice

I was hesitant to pick this one up at first because I am not a big fan of political reads but I love reading historical books. Anyways thought why not give it a go. And here we are.This book is about 5 sarsangchalaks aka the leaders of Rashtriya swayamsevak sangh (RSS) and their journey of hardships they come across and incidents in their early days of handling and leading this organisation. All five had different upbringings , backgrounds , knowledge and ideas but what brought them together was their goal to work towards a better nation and serve the country in the best possible way they can and motivate others to do the same. Overall an inspiring read.The author has put a lot of effort in research and background facts behind RSS. The writing is simple and easy to read. Will recommend if you are interested in history or leadership.

This book by Arun Anand truly uncovers the untold journey of the RSS from its inception to the gigantic organization that it is today. Given the current situation in the country, the book title is apt and totally relates to the "surge". The book reveals the challenges faced, sacrifices made, their contributions, and extoll the wonderful, dynamic, and magnetic personalities that the five stalwarts of the RSS leadership lineage i.e., Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar(the founder), Madhav Sadahiv Golwakar s.k.a Guruji, Balasaheb Deoras, Professor Rajendra Singh and the perfectionist Kuppalli Sitaramayya Sudarshan.Being staunch and ideal Hindu patron, the words of Dr. Keshav are very enlightening and true to the core, "The Hindu culture is the life-breath of Hindusthan. It is, therefore, clear that if Hindusthan is to be protected, we should first nourish the Hindu culture. If the Hindu culture perishes in Hindusthan itself, and if the Hindu society ceases to exist, it will hardly be appropriate to refer to the mere geographical entity that remains as Hindusthan. Mere geographical lumps do not make a nation. Unfortunately, the Congress organization has given no thought to protecting the Hindu Dharma and Hindu culture. The organization keeps its eyes closed to the daily onslaughts by outsiders on the Hindu society. It is to fulfill this duty of protecting the Hindu society that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has come into existence. But the Sangh harbors no ill-will towards the Congress. The Sangh will co-operate with the Congress in the efforts to secure freedom, as long as these efforts do not come in the way of preserving our national culture. The Sangh has indeed been co-operating with the Congress all along."He was a hard taskmaster and had the utmost dedication, his fiery nature could be seen in his words, "Even if death were to stare us in the face, we are not to shirk in our path; we have to keep the ultimate goal constantly burning in our mind and calmly carry on the fight".Dr.Keshav clearly states the definition of a swayamsevak and I am sure there can be no better explanation than his, "A swayamsevak is one who would lovingly lay down his life for the all-round upliftment of the nation. To create and mold such swayamsevaks is the aim of the Sangh. There is no distinction between a ‘swayamsevak’ and a ‘leader’ in Sangh. All of us are swayamsevaks and are, therefore, equal. We love and respect everybody equally. We give no room for any differences in status. This is, in fact, the secret of the remarkable growth of the Sangh in such a short period without any outside help, money, or publicity."For the people who would like to know more about the RSS and the ideals it practices and carries forward, this book contains the right amount of information and I can surely say that this is the result of humongous research.
