First book out on Hindutva terrorism

New Delhi - 20 Sep 2011: A New Delhi publisher has just brought out "Godse's Children - Hindutva Terror in India ", the first book on Hindutva terror. Authored by the veteran writer Subhash Gatade, the book covers one of the hottest subjects in modern Indian history - Hindutva terror perpetrated by about a dozen terrorist outfits allied to the Sangh Parivar. Spread over 400 pages, the book is an exhaustive study of this phenomenon which was first exposed by the Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare after these terror outfits remained active for years exploiting a most ingenious way in which both the victims and the arrested "terrorists" were Muslims.

The book looks into the ideological and historical roots of Hindutva terrorism, foreign linkages and dimensions, main outfits, actors, planners and ideologues, major terror blasts and explosions by these outfits, which remain mostly unprobed, and why investigating agencies are going slow on some of the known players of Hindutva terror.

The book has been brought out by Pharos Media. Earlier in 2009, it had published "Who Killed Karkare?" which has been translated intoseven Indian languagesand has changed the perception of terrorism in the country.
