Was Dr K. B. Hedgewar a selfless, celibate and dharmic warrior committed to India’s cultural revival? Or was he a right-wing extremist whose influence should have faded with his passing? The truth, as always, is far more complex.
In this episode, we introduce Hedgewar: A Definitive Biography, a deep dive into the life, ideology and enduring impact of the founder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Through meticulous research and nuanced storytelling, we explore the man beyond the movement — his struggles, his vision and the controversy that surrounds his legacy even today.
Join us as we unravel the layers of one of modern India’s most polarizing figures.
