He stood for the establishment of a Hindu rashtra, or nation, where minorities like Muslims and Christians could exist only as second class citizens. This book attempts to put across actual facts about Golwalkar\u2019s life and beliefs in the light of his original writings, publications of the RSS, documents available in its archives and many other RSS documents the writer collected over the last 35 years from different parts of the country, especially the original text of his book We or Our Nationhood Defined (1939) which is being fully reproduced in this book. It is the most important text in order to understand the RSS\u2019 concept of Hindu state, and has not been available to the public after 1947.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4740,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[20,56,40,182,26,9],"product_tag":[394,337,234,369,328],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pharosmedia.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4671"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pharosmedia.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pharosmedia.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pharosmedia.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4671"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pharosmedia.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pharosmedia.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pharosmedia.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4671"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pharosmedia.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
