Few organizations in India inspire as much loyalty, or provoke as much opposition, as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). From its early days in the dusty shakha grounds of Nagpur to its role in shaping the country’s political and cultural direction today, the RSS has been at the heart of India’s most charged battles over nationalism, identity and politics. In its centenary year, Shakha to Nation brings together the RSS’s most defining speeches – profound orations by Sarsanghchalaks K.B. Hedgewar, M.S. Golwalkar, M. S. Deoras, Rajendra Singh, K.S. Sudarshan, Mohan Bhagwat to ideologues past and present – that reveal the organization’s ideological steel and its evolving vision for India. These are speeches that have inspired millions, unsettled critics and reframed the national conversation on religion and politics, social reform and tradition, unity and dissent. Accompanied by commentary and historical context, this anthology is more than a record of speeches; rather it is a chronicle of a movement’s journey from the margins to the mainstream. Whether you see the RSS as the nation’s moral compass or its most-critiqued force, these speeches are essential to understanding how it has moved from Shakhato nation.
