RSS 360° by Ratan Sharda offers an inside account of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), exploring its philosophy, organisational structure, functioning and network of organisations across India.

Drawing on his experience with the organisation, Ratan Sharda presents the workings of the RSS in a simple and accessible style, supported by anecdotes and discussions of important issues surrounding the organisation. The book looks at the ideas, organisational framework and activities associated with the Sangh and its wider network.

This Revised and Updated Edition also examines major developments that took place after the publication of the first edition in 2018. It discusses developments such as the nullification of Article 370, the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the construction of the Ram Mandir, placing these developments in the context of the RSS’s stated organisational priorities and activities.
