RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat's US Visit Sparks Protests by Diaspora Activist GroupsPreviousNext

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat is set to visit the US, Canada, and the UK, prompting protests led by US-based activist groups including the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC) and Hindus for Human Rights (HfHR). These groups criticize the RSS for alleged human rights violations and promote minority rights, while supporters argue the protests stem from anti-India activism. Bhagwat's tour coincides with the RSS's centenary, highlighting tensions within the Indian diaspora over political and social issues.
