The book claims the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) had made overtures to Indira Gandhi all through the Emergency.
Former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had good relations with several RSS leaders, and just as the Sangh brass reached out to her for help, she too used it for her purposes but carefully kept a distance between the organisation and herself, claims a new book.
In "How Prime Ministers Decide", journalist Neerja Chowdhury analyses the operating styles of the country's Prime Ministers through the prism of six decisions of historic significance - the strategy that (Indira) Gandhi devised to return to power in 1980 post-Emergency, the Shah Bano case, the Mandal Commission, the Babri Masjid incident, Atal Bihari Vajpayee's nod to nuclear tests, and the Indo-US nuclear deal under Manmohan Singh.
