The leader of India’s Hindu nationalist organization, the RSS, will address an audience in New York, marking the first major public appearance by the group’s head in the United States. The visit follows years of debate over the RSS’s role in Indian politics and its ties to hardline nationalist movements. Critics have long accused the organization of promoting exclusionary ideologies, while supporters argue it remains a key cultural and social force. The speech could reignite discussions about the group’s influence both in India and among diaspora communities abroad.
