MS Golwalkar
Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, commonly known as Guruji, was the second chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), serving from 1940 to 1973. Born on February 19, 1906, in a Brahmin family in Nagpur, he played a pivotal role in shaping the ideology and organizational structure of the RSS. Golwalkar emphasized the importance of Hindu nationalism and sought to unite Hindus across India under a common identity. His writings, particularly 'We or Our Nationhood Defined,' have been influential in promoting the concept of Hindutva. Golwalkar's leadership solidified the RSS's status as a significant force in Indian politics and society, and he remains a controversial figure, revered by many for his contributions to Hindu identity and nationalism.
