Although both K.B. Hedgewar and Madhav Golwalkar were essentially adherents of Savarkar’s brand of Hindutva, each one approached it differently—Savarkar was clearly in favour of militarisation; Hedgewar wished to channelise the idea through the organisational structure; while Golwalkar was prone to a spiritual interpretation of the idea. Balasaheb Deoras on the other hand, wanted the RSS to plunge headlong into politics. He believed that the ‘Hindus did not have an institutional mind. They revelled in destroying this.’
