This is the journey of a person who hated the word Sanghi but ended up happily adopting it as a label. Rahul Roushan shot to fame around 200910 as the Pagal Patrakar the pseudonym he used while writing for Faking News. Back then he was seen just as a founder editor of the news satire website with no special interest in politics or ideology. The first time Rahul Roushan was called a Sanghi he felt deeply offended. After all he held a Bachelor s degree in Mathematics from Patna University a post graduate diploma in journalism from IIMC in New Delhi an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad and was a self made media entrepreneur. Sanghi literally means someone who is a member of the right wing RSS Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or its affiliates but the liberals use the term liberally to deride those who differ with their political and ideological stand or those who wear Hinduism on their sleeves. This book analyses why Hindutva as an ideology is no longer anathema and what brought about this change. Why did a country that was ruled for decades by people espousing Nehruvian secularism suddenly began to align with the communal politics of the Bharatiya Janata Party BJP? The book is the story of this transformation. This is not an autobiography though it could read like one in parts. It is not even a collection of intellectual essays though it could read like one in parts. It is the retelling of some historical events and how those events impacted the journey of Rahul Roushan and countless people like him. The book looks at factors like education media technology and obviously electoral politics which played a key role in this transformation. In authors words This book will be of special interest to readers who just want to badmouth me and the book but I really hope the same people make an earnest effort to also understand what changed India and all those Sanghis who never went to any shakha.
