<\/p>\n
Nandha, a thought leader with a distinguished background in private equity, spent over seven years researching the book and says: \u201cI have tried to examine Hedgewar\u2019s life and challenges with contemporaries like Gandhi, Nehru, and Savarkar. I have also tried to explore his inner struggles in reconciling his critique of Hindu society,\u201d adds Nandha.<\/p>\n
Set against the backdrop of a country grappling with colonial rule, rising communal tensions, and the complexities of modernity, the book also offers insights into his philosophy of cultural nationalism.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter spending almost seven years researching and writing about a man who remains largely unknown yet whose ideas and work have impacted one-fifth of humanity.\u00a0Hedgewar’s ideas are subtle yet powerful,\u201d says Sachin Nandha.<\/p>\n
According to Nandha, the book is not just a biography but also provides a nuanced perspective on the RSS\u2019s origins and its impact on the country. He adds, \u201c\u2018Hedgewar: A Definitive Biography\u2019 is a must-read for those seeking to understand modern India\u2019s complexities through the life of a controversial yet extraordinary man.\u201d<\/p>\n
The book will be available from 21st\u00a0March 2025 in India & Globally (through Amazon)<\/p>\n
