Why people recommend it
A warning to the Hindus by Savitri Devi is an influential 1939 Hindu nationalist text that advocates for political and cultural dominance by the majority population in India. Robert Evans examined the book across multiple episodes of Behind the Bastards, noting that its foreword was penned by G.D. Savarkar, the brother of a prominent RSS co-founder. Citing analyses by South Asian affairs experts, Evans explained that the book advanced V.D. Savarkar's thesis of Hindutva, positing India fundamentally as a Hindu nation. Evans further emphasized that the text remains deeply influential within Hindu nationalist circles and the RSS, suggesting its pervasive ideological reach over decades. Through these podcast discussions, the book was analyzed not only as a historical artifact of pre-partition extremist thought but also as a foundational ideological document whose themes continue to resonate within contemporary South Asian politics and nationalist movements.

“A warning to Hindus is still considered to be a deeply influential text within the Hindu nationalist movement and the RSS. Modi probably read it as a child and a list of his crimes and the thousands of murders and mosque bombings and beatings carried out by Hindu nationalists against Indian Muslims would go beyond the scope of this episode.”
