From 28 February to 1 March 2020, I attend the sixth India Ideas Conclave 2020 organized by the think-tank India Foundation, in Narmada, Gujarat. I was invited as a speaker by Ram Madhav, who was a member of the national executive of the RSS before he came to the BJP.There, several old-timers of the Sangh told me that at no point in India’s post-Independence history was the RSS away from Bengal.
