Steeped in saffron
In the four months that he has been occupying Bihar's Raj Bhavan, Sunder Singh Bhandari has rarely been out of the news. It is a novel situation for the hard-core RSS man who was accustomed to working behind the scenes. But after years in the shadows, he is clearly enjoying the limelight.
