Bhanwar Meghwanshi
Translated by Nivedita Menon

Since Bhanwar Meghwanshi’s departure from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, which he joined at the age of 13, he has been an Ambedkarite activist and a vocal critic of the Sangh. This book is an eye-opening chronicle of his involvement in the Sangh’s activities, and the factors that led to his eventual disillusionment with the organisation.
