	The Sangh Parivar - A Reader by Christophe Jaffrelot
	Price : Rs 295.00
	Your Price : Rs 265.50

This volume brings together significant readings on the Sangh Parivar—the ‘family’ of Hindu nationalist organizations—and traces the rise of the Right wing in Indian politics. It describes the matrix of the Sangh Parivar—the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)— and how it was constituted. It examines the core group of the Parivar and shows how each group represents a major arena of public sphere—the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the political arena; the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal (BD) in the religious domain; Rashtra Sevika Samiti representing the women’s wing of the RSS; Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram (VKA) for the welfare of tribal groups; Seva Bharati which works among the Dalits; and the Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) active in the economic domain.
