Crafting Ram Mandir, Shaping Practice: The Evolution of Bharatiya Social Work is a landmark academic monograph that rigorously applies all six classical social work methods - community organisation, group work, casework, social welfare administration, social action, and research - to analyse the Ram Mandir movement spanning five centuries (1528-2024). The book demonstrates how this extraordinary faith-based grassroots movement mobilised millions, sustained organisational coherence across generations, and ultimately achieved its historic goal. Critically engaging with Western theoretical frameworks and their limitations in Bharatiya contexts, the author proposes an original Dharma-Seva-Samaj Framework rooted in indigenous knowledge systems. Aligned with India's National Education Policy 2020, this interdisciplinary work decolonises social work education and is essential reading for academics, students, researchers, and policy makers committed to indigenous knowledge and cultural reclamation.
