An ancient fort called Amagarh (Ambagarh), revered by the Meena tribal community, sits atop a hillock in the Ghat Gate locality of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan.

What some people did there in the name of Hindutva has led to a confrontation between Adivasis and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
