In 1987, a thirteen-year-old in Rajasthan joins the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Despite his untouchable status, he rises through the ranks. He hates Muslims. He joins the karsevaks to Ayodhya. He is ready to die for the Hindu Rashtra. And yet he remains a lesser Hindu. In this explosive memoir, Bhanwar Meghwanshi tells us what it meant to be an untouchable in the RSS. And what it means to become Dalit. About the Author Bhanwar Meghwanshi is an activist and a journalist chronicling the Dalit movement. Nivedita Menon is professor of political thought at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
