Talk:M. S. Golwalkar

Bunch of Thoughts and We, or Our Nationhood Defined
The lead section clearly states these two books were authored by M. S. Golwalkar. But following the recent controversy in Kerala regarding naming an institute after Golwalkar, the state RSS leaders have rejected certain contents of these books and has come up with a claim that both these books were not original works of Golwalkar. Bunch of Thoughts is a compilation of his speeches and thoughts made by a Rao and We, or Our Nationhood Defined is an independent translation of a Marathi work. I guess the lead sentence should be changed, including these details. 2001:7C0:205F:8001:0:0:0:173 (talk) 11:43, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

"We, or Our National Defined" not an independent translation of Marathi work, Rashtramimansa. A comparison of the works shows the differences. It was not until 1963 that Golwalkar started to distance himself from "We, or Our National Defined". Wecacuee (talk) 19:59, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Confused introduction
A couple of months ago, the 5th sentence of the lede read "He was the first person to put forward the concept of a religion-based nation called 'Hindu Rashtra' which is believed to have evolved into the concept of the 'two nation theory', separate nations for Hindus and Muslims." After various gradual changes, partially reverted, the sentence now reads "He was not the first person to put forward the concept of a cultural nation called 'Hindu Rashtra' which is believed to have evolved into the concept of the 'akhand bharat theory', united nations for Bharatiyas." I don't know the topic well enough to say off-hand whether any, all, or none of the changes is correct, and it's not really covered in the article body either. My gut feeling is that, at least, the "not" shouldn't be there – that's what made me start looking at the article history in the first place – and even if that is factually correct it does need to be rephrase because this only looks odd. --bonadea contributions talk 11:17, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
