OCLF: RSS Evolution, Marriage Prep, & Crime Insights

The second day of the Orange City Literature Festival captivated audiences with diverse topics ranging from ideological history to crime psychology and contemporary relationships. Author Chandrachur Ghose presented his book, advocating for an understanding of the RSS as an evolving entity influenced by various thinkers, cautioning against ideological branding distorting historical narratives.

The festival also spotlighted a new research-driven pre-marriage guidebook, "Important Questions to Ask Before Getting Married," authored by Vikaas Vitthal and Mrunali Goutam. This resource aims to guide couples through essential conversations, underscoring that successful marriages require clarity beyond mere attraction.

Further sessions included insights from 'Hidden Hindu' author Akshat Gupta on Hinduism and mental health, and Anuj Tiwari's journey from personal setbacks to socially conscious storytelling. A panel debated the historical accuracy of epic myths, while Anirban Bhattacharya explored the psychology of crime and digital threats.
