      The book explores the transformation of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) into a more technologically adept and socially inclusive organization, which has successfully engaged marginalized communities like Dalits and tribals. It highlights how the RSS's strategies of social work and appropriation of identity contribute to the political success of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in India. Through extensive field research in Uttar Pradesh, the author reveals the complex dynamics of Hindutva and its impact on Indian democracy, challenging conventional perceptions of caste in electoral politics.
