‘Amit Shah and I played cricket and marbles here’

The BBC visited Indian Home Minister Amit Shah’s ancestral house, in the town of Mansa in Gujarat, which has been torn down to make way for a new heritage home.

His childhood friend Sudhir Darji gave the BBC a tour of the family grounds where Amit Shah lived, playing cricket and marbles with friends, until the age of 16 before his parents moved to Ahmedabad, Gujarat's largest city.

We are escorted into Mr Shah’s old family complex through his uncle's home - a spacious and shuttered middle-class dwelling - next door.
