Former President Ram Nath Kovind, addressing the RSS centenary, lauded Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and the Sangh Parivar’s pro-Constitution stance. He quoted Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s declaration of governance based on “Bhim Smriti,” countering “Manuwadi” accusations. Kovind also noted Mahatma Gandhi and Ambedkar’s admiration for RSS discipline and inclusivity, with Ambedkar reportedly feeling a “sense of belonging” during a 1940 visit.
