Hindu Temples - What Happened to Them (2 Vol. Set)

Sita Ram Goel was an Indian religious and political activist, writer. He wrote extensively on the damage to Indian culture and heritage wrought by expansionist Islam and missionary activities of Christianity. In his later career he emerged as a commentator on Indian politics, and adhered to Hindu nationalism. Goel wrote regularly for the far right hindu organization called RSS's "Organiser" weekly, whose editor K. R. Malkani was his friend. In 1961–1962 he used the pseudonym Ekaki (solitary) while writing the series In Defence of Comrade Krishna Menon, critical of Indian National Congress leader Jawaharlal Nehru. Although the series was widely read and praised, he was later admonished by a leader of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for being too focused on Nehru, and the series was discontinued. The collected series was published in December 1963 by Vaidya Gurudatta and an updated version released as Genesis and Growth of Nehruism thirty years later. However Goel's writings about Nehru in the Organiser cost him his job and disillusioned him of the RSS.
