Let’s Talk About: Reading RSS with Vijai Trivedi

Let’s Talk About: RSS is our three-part deep-dive into the rise and expansion of the Hindutva organisation into a formidable sociocultural and political force in the country.

In this live Zoom session where subscribers got to ask questions, the podcast’s hosts, Abhinandan Sekhri and Shardool Katyayan, speak with Vijai Trivedi about the RSS and the network of organisations that it has spawned, collectively called the Sangh Parivar.

Trivedi is editor of the TV channel News India 24x7 and author of several books on the Sangh Parivar, including Yada Yada Hi Yogi; Haar Nahi Manoonga; Sangham Sharnam Gachchhami; and Kal, Aaj aur Kal.

They explore how the RSS wields power and the relationship between this fount of Hindutva and Modi’s BJP.
