Published on Aug 29, 2025 10:40 pm IST

In this week’s episode of Tell Me Why, we dive into the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) — the 100-year-old ideological fountainhead of the BJP and India’s ruling establishment. With RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat delivering a rare 3-day lecture series, we break down the biggest takeaways: Why the Sangh doesn’t want PM Narendra Modi to retire at 75, what it really thinks about Ayodhya, Kashi, and Mathura temple disputes, its controversial stand on meat bans, and how deeply it still influences BJP decisions. From its roots in Nagpur to shaping India’s politics and culture today, this is everything you need to know about the RSS in 2025. 👉 Why does the RSS matter? How does it shape Modi’s future? And what does it mean for India’s politics?
