Usha Vance’s granduncle had links to RSS, Emergency

She told TOI: “Usha is the granddaughter of Rama Sastry, my husband Subramanya Sastry’s eldest brother. I am happy she has inherited the sharp intellect and acumen that runs in our family. Both my husband and his elder brother (Usha’s grandfather) served as university professors. Our family also holds deep societal concerns. My husband, in fact, spent two years in jail during the Emergency as he was an RSS worker.”
