"The BJP-RSS's ascent to power at the Centre has led to the increased
assertion of Hindutva politics, which is focused on Hindu nationalism in
contrast to the Indian nationalism envisaged by the freedom movement and
the Indian Constitution.
One of the components of Hindu nationalism is to perpetuate the caste
hierarchy in new forms. In this direction, RSS and its affiliates are
adopting multiple strategies. On one hand, they pay obeisance to Babasaheb
Ambedkar and on the other they promote the values of caste inequality in
the name of “our glorious heritage”. At the same time, RSS floats
organizations like Samajik Samrasta Manch to co-opt the Dalits into
Brahmanic fold.
This book examines the issues raised by the politics of RSS and its effort
to suppress the Dalit aspirations of social justice and equality. It refers
to writings of Babasaheb to show that RSS-Hindutva politics stands in total
opposition to the ideology of Ambedkar and Dalits’ emancipation."
