Choudhary's Book Analyzes Vajpayee's Role in Hindu Right's Rise

This book is like a deep dive into how a political group gained power in India.

It focuses on Atal Bihari Vajpayee and his role in the rise of the Hindu Right.

The author used a writing style inspired by American journalism.

The book discusses how the group learned from past mistakes, used strategies like organizing at the grassroots level, and formed coalitions to gain power.

It suggests understanding history is key to understanding current politics.

The author said that misinterpreting Vajpayee as a liberal overlooks how the Hindu Right rose to power, starting with a 10% vote share in the early 1960s.
