==Plot==

Devika Deol is a gentle great devotee of goddess Ambe Maa, set to wed Saket Kapoor. Ravi Garewal, a middle-class guy hails from [[Ambala]]. Due to some circumstances he marries and saves Devika from social humiliation. Manju, Shweta and Saket cause problems in Devika's life. She and Ravi fall in love. Nivedita Luthra (boss of the prestigious company where Ravi works) becomes obsessed with him. She, Manju and Saket push Devika off a cliff, assuming her dead.

===Several months later===

Devika is still alive and disguises as Ambika Raichand, the daughter of her rich and influential saviour Janki. Ravi is engaged to Nivedita, living in her house. Devika is back for revenge, thinking Ravi was part of the plan to kill her. She later realises his innocence; they start a new life. Nivedita and Saket kill Monty and blame Ravi but Devika exposes them. The show ends with her pregnancy.

{{Short description|American academic}}
'''Walter K. Andersen''' is an American academic known for his studies of the [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]] (RSS) – a Hindu nationalist organization. He currently serves as Senior Adjunct Professor of South Asia Studies at [[Johns Hopkins University]] [[Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies]] and is a part of the faculty of [[Tongji University]], Shanghai (China). Previously, he taught comparative politics at the [[College of Wooster]] before joining the United States [[State Department]] as a political analyst for [[South Asia]] specializing in [[India]] and [[Indian Ocean]] affairs.<ref name="1983 book credit">{{cite book|editor=Ramon H. Myers|title=A U.S. Foreign Policy for Asia: The 1980s and Beyond|publisher=[[Hoover Institution|Hoover Institution Press]]|year=1982|isbn=0-8179-7712-0|pages= 141}}</ref> Additionally, he was an adjunct professor at [[The American University]] in [[Washington, D.C.]]<ref name="1983 book credit"/>

==Education==
Andersen earned his Ph.D. in political science from the University of Chicago.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sais-jhu.edu/walter-andersen|title=Walter Andersen, Senior Adjunct Professor of South Asia Studies|publisher=Johns Hopkins University SAIS|year=2019|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190417141620/https://www.sais-jhu.edu/walter-andersen|archivedate=2019-04-17|url-status=dead}}</ref> As a part of his field work, he lived in India for four years from late 1960s through early 1970s. There he came in contact with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP, the student wing of RSS). That association led to an introduction to M. S. Golwalker – the head of RSS. His scholarship has focussed on the RSS and Indian politics. He considers Lloyd and Susanne Rudolph as his mentors, states an article in ''[[The Indian Express]]''.<ref name=ie082018>{{cite news|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/books/a-battle-between-hindutva-and-hinduism-is-coming-walter-andersen-rss-5301109/|title=A battle between Hindutva and Hinduism is coming|author=Ashutosh Varshney|work=Indian Express|accessdate=June 9, 2022}}</ref>

==Scholarship of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh==
Andersen, with Sridhar D. Damle, co-authored the 1987 book ''The Brotherhood in Saffron: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Hindu Revivalism''.<ref>{{cite book|author1=Walter K Andersen|author2=Shridhar D Damle|title=The Brotherhood In Saffron: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh And Hindu Revivalism|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=M-i1AAAAIAAJ|year=1987|publisher=Avalon Publishing|isbn=978-0-8133-7358-4}}</ref> The book has been called an authoritative, detailed examination of the [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]] (RSS), including its early growth in the pre-independence period, its organization, the function of its various officers and the evolution of its ideology. "The founders of the RSS concluded that the Hindu social body was weak and disorganized because ''dharma'' was neither clearly understood nor correctly observed." It was the task of the Sangh's members to create a stable Hindu society and culture.<ref name="Jones">{{cite journal|last=Jones|first=Kenneth W.|title=The Brotherhood in Saffron: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Hindu Revivalism by Walter K. Andresen; Shridhar D. Damle - Review|journal=The Journal of Asian Studies|volume=47|number=1|pages=162–163|jstor=2056409|doi=10.2307/2056409}}</ref>

Damle and published by [[Penguin Books|Penguin]]. Also in picture [[Rajdeep Sardesai]] and [[Nistula Hebbar]].]]
The authors avoid categorizing the RSS as having an ideologically loaded framework and treat it with "understanding and objectivity."<ref>{{cite journal|last=Malik|first=Yogendra K.|title=The Brotherhood in Saffron: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Hindu Revivalism by Walter K. Andresen; Shridhar D. Damle - Review |journal=Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science|volume=503|pages=156–157|doi=10.1177/0002716289503001021|jstor=1047233|s2cid=220839484}}</ref> Roughly half the book focuses on the political involvement of the Sangh, with the [[Bharatiya Jana Sangh]], the [[Janata Party]] and the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP), and includes information about how the Sangh exerts influence on the political partners.<ref name="Jones"/>

In 2018, Andersen and Damle co-authored ''The RSS: A View to the Inside''.<ref>{{cite book|author1=Walter Andersen|author2=Shridhar Damle|title=The RSS: A View to the Inside|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PoxmDwAAQBAJ|year=2018|publisher=Penguin Random House|isbn=978-93-5305-159-4}}</ref> After the book's publication, the Political Science scholar [[Ashutosh Varshney]] remarked that "Andersen is the only scholar who has observed or studied the RSS for nearly five decades".<ref name=ie082018/> According to Andrew Nathan, Andersen and Damle "take an exceptionally well-informed look at the RSS, including its relations with affiliate organizations", and discuss how the "core concept of [[Hindutva]], or “Hinduness,” is now glossed as loyalty to a vaguely defined Indian civilization rather than adherence to specific religious practices, a revision made easier by the unsystematic character of Hindu beliefs" while still "espousing aggressive anti-Muslim and socially conservative positions".<ref>[https://www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/capsule-review/2019-02-12/rss-view-inside The RSS: A View to the Inside by Walter K. Andersen and Shridhar D. Damle], Reviewed by Andrew J. Nathan, Foreign Affairs (March/April 2019)</ref> Andersen calls the book as a sequel to ''The Brotherhood in Saffron'' book published in 1987, and one that presents the significant changes in India and the RSS since 1987. According to Andersen, the RSS has formed and grown over a hundred affiliated organizations to help penetrate nearly every part of India. These affiliates now play an active role in lobbying the policy processes.<ref>[https://casi.sas.upenn.edu/iit/walterandersen The RSS: A View to the Inside] Walter Andersen, India in Transition, Center for the Advanced Study of India, University of Pennsylvania (May 20, 2019); The article also appeared in [https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/is-rss-still-a-cultural-organisation/article27198964.ece The Hindu newspaper on May 21 2019]</ref>
