Anyone seeking to understand the rise of India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) must become acquainted with its ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Professor Walter Andersen has spent decades researching the RSS and BJP, has extensive contacts in both organizations, and is author of books including “The RSS: A View to the Inside.” Please join Aparna Pande, director of Hudson Institute’s Initiative on the Future of India and South Asia, and Senior Fellow Eric Brown for a conversation with Walter Andersen on the influence of the RSS on India’s political environment.
