In the third and final episode of this series, we pick up from where we left off – the blossoming of the RSS under its third chief, Balasaheb Deoras. Moving through the JP movement to the Emergency to the birth of the Janata Party, this episode tracks the role of the RSS across epochal moments in India’s history. 

From Deoras to Rajendra Singh to KS Sudarshan to Mohan Bhagwat, the episode moves into the 21st century, spanning the consolidation of the Hindutva establishment and Babri Masjid demolition, the first BJP-led union government, and the ascent of Narendra Modi. 

It also tries to answer a fundamental question: where will the RSS go from here?
