Description

This book is about the Sangh Parivar's Hindutva ideology - a far cry from true Hinduism, the faith of the Hindus. It shows that Hindutva is a specially designed construct aimed at achieving political objectives. It is not all to be confused with Hinduism. In reality, it often manifests itself as the very antithesis of all that is noble in Hinduism.

The political mobilization of the Hindus in the name of Ram since 1990 has given rise to suicidal communal forces, unleashing violence befitting primitive people. The book lays bare the anti-India nature of the artificial construct of Hindu Rashtra, erected on the false foundations of motivated definitions, and highlights the anguish, the sorrow and the shame of Godhra and Gujarat, and the diabolic implications of the outrage against the Orissa Legislative Assembly.
