Here is link to the interview by Barkha Dutt of the coauthor - Walter Andersen - of the above titled book about RSS. Andersen is professor of South Asia Studies, Johns Hopkins University, US.
The interview is significant in its conclusion:
RSS is changing by way of (a) being more inclusive as compared to
what is was a decade ago, and (b) being more open to influencing the GOI
policy decisions through (or due to positioning of) its sister
organizations.
Anderson says, RSS wants Modi to be PM, but is not comfortable with
Modi cult.. a person becoming bigger than the organization. This is
however, not a Modi specific position but a general principle of RSS -
individual is not (or should not be) bigger than the organization.
According to Anderson, RSS does not want to build Rama-janmabhumi
Temple through legislation - that is, it does not want to bypass the
Supreme Court. Ram Temple is essentially VHP agenda but RSS does not
want VHP to be lead by people like Pravin Togadia. Yogi Adityanath is
not an RSS man and RSS was rather surprised by his induction as a CM.
All in all, RSS is promoting a moderate and inclusive nationalism according to Andersen.
