All you need to know about ABVP

The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has been at the centre of some of the recent campus controversies that made it to the national news. Among them is the violence that took place at the Ramjas College in Delhi, where JNU student Umar Khalid was to speak at a seminar last week.

In these slides, we tell you all you need to know about the student organisation and its affiliation with the BJP and RSS.
