The gradual and steady rise of the 90-year-old Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has fueled many myths. ‘Know About RSS’ unravels the functioning of the organisation by providing an insight into the hitherto unexplained aspects of the RSS – the daily Shakha, Saffron Flag, Prayer, Training Camps, Full-Time Workers etc. This book provides authentic information about the organisational structure of the RSS which is simple yet unique and baffling for all those who do not know about the RSS.
