Janaki Bakhle: Savarkar and the Making of Hindutva
An outstanding intellectual history of one of the most contentious figures of modern India, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Drawing on the entire range of his writings in Marathi and English, the book offers an incisive analysis of the complexity of Savarkar’s thought, viewing him not just as the pre-eminent ideologue of Hindutva but also as a poet, historian, and social reformer.
