As a national political leader, Dr Raghuvira was elected first to the Constituent Assembly in 1948 and then to the Rajya Sabha in 1952 and 1957. His contribution to parliamentary and inner party debates with inside knowledge of China and Southeast Asia was unique. Favouring ‘Hindu’ nationalism, he was later disillusioned by China. He also developed differences with the Congress Party and joined the Jana Sangh Party (presently known as Bharatiya Janata Party).
