THIS long and keenly awaited life-story in English of Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, the founder of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), is now in your hands.

The Organization which Dr. Hedgewar founded has assumed massive dimensions and has become, in the words of Jayaprakash Narayan, "the most potent and idealistic instrument for total national transformation in our country." And as days are passing, national expectations from this organization and its workers are soaring higher and higher.

RSS workers, apart from building up a solid national base for all national reconstruction, have also entered various spheres - education, labour, literature, journalism, etc. and are exerting wholesome influence in every field.

And, especially because of the historic role played by lakhs of its adherents both inside our country and abroad during Emergency for restoring democratic freedoms in our country, RSS shot into prominence all over. Its workers have also built up socio-cultural institutions abroad for imparting Hindu cultural identity to our people there and also for fastening ties of love and co-operation between them and the local nationals.
