 Summary of this article
- The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Self-Respect Movement were formed in 1925.
- While the Self-Respect Movement and Dravidian politics have managed to grow beyond Tamil Nadu, where they were founded, the movement itself is faced with a larger Hindutva movement that has been seeking to unite the lower castes under the Hindu umbrella.
- Outlook has decided to bring out an issue on each of these three, the first being the one about RSS at 100 years.
