He could be either called as the HUMBINGER of the STOLIDITY of the HINDUS or he could even be termed as the one who always CRUCIFIED the Congress whenever it was felt and needed be That is the reason the Congress terms him as POISIN but the HARDCORE HINDUS term him as the PROPHET of HINDUISM What ever it might be the MARATHAS of India worship this man and the CONGRESS KILLS him every second That is the tRUTH that emerges.
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar who was born on 28 May 1883 and expired on 26 February 1966), commonly known as Veer Savarkar ("brave" in his native as the Maharshtrian would call him ), was an Indian and an Independent activist , politician, lawyer, and writer who the formulated the Hindutva philosophy.
Responded the Muslim League
As a response to theLeague ie the Muslim League , Savarkar joined the Mahasabha that the Hindus at Maharashtra had formed which was named as HINDU MAHASABHA, and popularized the term “ Hindutva” (Hinduness), previously coined by Mr Chandranath Basu to create a collective "Hindu" identity as an essence of Bharat which was the original name of Hindustan ie (India). Savarkar was also a pragmatic practitioner of Hindu philosophy. He advocated for validating religious myths and blind faith against the test of modern science. In that sense, he also was a rationalist and reformer.
Early Years and his struggle for revolution
Savarkar began his act of opposing the wrongs of the British since a child and the more he grew up the more vigorous had been his defiance against the British and later for the Congrrss particularly against Mr Nehru and Mr Gandhi . He became a very noted activist at the School as a school student and continued to do so at the Fergusson College at Poona then . He and his brother founded a secret society called Abhinav Bharat Society. When he went to the England at the United Kingdom for completing his studies of Law, for his law studies, he involved himself with radical organizations such the HOUSE OF INDIA and the the FREE INDIA SOCIETY . He also published books advocating complete Indian independence by revolutionary means. One of the books he published called 1857 : THE FIRST WAR OF INDIAN INDEPENDENCE was all about the Indian rebellion of 1857 was banned by the British authorities. In 1910, Savarkar was arrested and ordered to be extradited to India for his connections with the revolutionary group India House.
His Homage To The Jail & Cellular Jail : Imprisonment for 50 years
He completed his studies of Law and was to return India However his books had caused a WHIRLWIND in the circuit of those who were against the Britishers worldwide and particularly here at India Hence he was always under the lens of the British administration and it was that they were also following him to nab him.Savarkar knew this and he wanted to hookwind the Britishers to keep his mountain green and he too wanted some kind of a leverage to keep himself away from the Britishers
Arrest, and the ten years of jail
On the voyage back to India, Savarkar staged an attempt to escape and seek asylum in France while the ship was docked in the port of Marseilles. The French port officials however handed him back to the British in contravention of international law. On return to India, Savarkar was sentenced to two life terms of imprisonment totalling fifty years and was moved to the jail at Andaman and Nicobar known as KALA-PAANI jail in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Savarkar served ten years of his prison sentence before being released in 1921 after signing a plea for for his release from the jail that required him to renounce revolutionary activities. After release, he was eventually moved to Ratnagiri in the present day state of Maharashtra, where he stayed until 1937.
Reason For Writing For Clemency-:: He wanted to galvanise the cause of the fight
During that period the Azad Hind Fauz was slowly but in a very pre-planned manner was defeating the Britishers and they had taken back Singapore, a part of Formosa, a part of Andaman and Nicobar and a large portion of Rangoon from the Britishers The casualty that was afflicted by the Azad Hind Fauz was too much for the Britishers to digest.This was the time Savarkar thought that if he somehow came out of the jail he would be able to assist Mr Bose to lauch a terrific attempt to expedite the British rule for all in India and that he could galvanise the local force internally to blow the Britishers at India This was something that he would not be able to do at the jail remaining at the jail.For he felt if he somehow comes out of the jail he would be able to do everything in a well described and a phased manner That is the reason he decided to apply for the clemency and NOT for any other reason Also he had received a PLEA from Netaji Bose as well to support the cause of Azad Hind Fauz and Savarkar in the interest of the nation did that .
SAVARKAR : A FIERCE OPPONENT OF INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS
Why is that he became a tremendous opposition for the Indian National Congress and the ONE who along with Mr Bose strongly criticised Mahatma Gandhi and the views of the Congress ws that the principles that the Congress and Mr Gandhi were following were NEVER going to force the British to flee the country The PEACE-cum- NON VIOLENCE movement was NOT going to enforce any kind of a pressure or anything as such on the Britishers at all to flee and leave the shores of the nation Over it the Britishers were looting all the treasuries and the resources of India and were passing it that to their own land at United Kingdom. Netaji strongly was making this known to all the indians the world over at Europe and Asia and Mr Savarkar was doing those at India. This is the reason that he and Netaji oppossed many a move and many a principles of the Congress
While in prison, Savarkar wrote the work describing “ Hindutva ” espousing what it means to be a Hindu, and Hindu pride, in which he defined as all the people descended of Hindu culture as being part of Hindutva, including Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs. After 1937, he started travelling widely, becoming a forceful orator and writer, advocating Hindu political and social unity. Serving as the president of the Mahasabha of the Hindus, ie HINDU MAHASABHA political party, Savarkar endorsed the idea of India as a “ HINDU RASHTRA ” (Hindu Nation) and opposed to the Quit India struggle in 1942, calling it a "Quit India but keep your army" movement. He became a fierce critic of the Indian National Congress and its acceptance of India's partition.
Childhood and the family background of Mr Savarkar
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar was born in the Marathi Chitpavan Brahmin Hindu family] of Damodar and Radhabai Savarkar in the village of Bhagur, near the city ofof Dwarka which is now known as Nashik , Maharashtra. He had three other siblings namely Ganesh, Narayan, and a sister named Maina. When he was 12, he led fellow students in an attack on his village mosque following Hindu-Muslim riots, stating: "we vandalised the mosque to our heart’s content.
After the death of his parents, the eldest sibling Ganesh, known as Babarao, took responsibility for the family. Babarao played a supportive and influential role in Vinayak's teenage life. During this period, Vinayak organised a youth group called Mitra Mela (Band of Friends) and encouraged revolutionary and nationalist views of passion using this group. In 1901, Vinayak Savarkar married Yamunabai, daughter of Ramchandra Triambak Chiplunkar, who supported his university education. Subsequently, in 1902, he enrolled in Fergusson College, in Pune. As a young man, he was inspired by the new generation of rising political leaders namely Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Bipin Chandra Pal and Lala Lajpat Rai along with the political struggle against the “ partition of Bengal ” and the rising Swadeshi campaign. In his college years, he along with his friends burned imported textile as a support to the Swadeshi Movement. After completing his degree, nationalist activist Shyamji Krishna Varma helped Vinayak to go to England to study law, on a scholarship. It was during this period that the Garam Dal, literally "Army of the angry," was formed under the leadership of Tilak as a result of a split between the moderate, "constitutionalist" wing on the one part, and of Tilak's "nationalist" wing in the Indian National Congress. The members of the Garam Dal did not acknowledge the agenda of the majority Indian National Congress leadership which advocated dialogue with the British rulers and incremental steps towards Independence by gaining the confidence of the British. Tilak was soon imprisoned for his support of revolutionary activities
Views on Mahatma Gandhi
It was Netaji Subash Chandra Bose who was very critical
of Mahatma Gandhi about the way he was practising the NON-VIOLENCE
movement against the Britishers who were using all the ARMS-&-AMMUNITIONS
to kill the Indian wave that was taking place to fight the Britishers for
Independence .The NON-VIOLENCE movement of Mahatma Gandhi had completely failed
at South Africa when he was fighting for the abuses that was hurled and thrown
on the blacks and the coloured at South Africa. There he had nothing to fight
for when it came to resisit the African administrattion. Here he had a mass of
Indians who were BLINDLY following him and his ideas to fight the
British without using any arms where as the Britishers were using GUNS-AND-BULLETS
to quash all the force that were being raised against them HOW COULD THE NON VIOLENCE AND UNARMED WIN
AGAINST THE GUNS AND BULLETS That was the prime reason of difference
between the likes of Netaji, Lala \Lajpat Rai Veer Savarkar and the whims of
the Congress That took away Netaji and that made the others come very close to
Netaji Ultimately Lala Lajpat rai formed a party “ GARAM-DAL “ to fight
the Britishers and many like Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekar Azad,
Ashfaq-Ullah-Khan, Rajendra lakiri, Ramprasad Bismal left the Congress and
joined the GARAM-DAL to oppose the Britishers .This is the point where Netaji Subash Chandra Bose and Savarkar
became a ANTI to the ideas of Mahatma Gandhi
Savarkar was an
outspoken critic of Mahatma Gandhi. He criticized
Gandhi for being a hypocrite as he supported use of violence by the British
against Germany during World War II. He also criticized his appeasement of
Muslims at the time of Khilafat Movement.
In articles
from the 1920s to the 1940s, Savarkar considered Gandhi as a naive leader who
"happens to babble ... [about] compassion, forgiveness", yet
"notwithstanding his sublime and broad heart, the Mahatma has a very
narrow and immature head".
Views on
Dr. Ambedkar
Savarkar respected Dr.
Ambedkar. In a
message to Dr Ambedkar's Golden Jubilee Committee on 15 January 1942, he wrote,
"His personality, erudition and capacity to lead and organise-would have by themselves marked him out as an outstanding asset to our nation. But in addition to that the in-estimable services he has rendered to our motherland in trying to stamp out untouchability and the result he has achieved in instilling a manly spirit of self-confidence in millions of the depressed classes, constitute an abiding, patriotic as well as humanitarian achievement. The very fact of the birth of such a towering personality among the so-called untouchable castes could not but liberate their souls from self-depression and animate them to challenge the super-arrogative claims of the so-called touchables".
Savarkar was critical of Ambedkar's conversion to Buddhism. However, he termed it as a change of sect rather than a change of religion. He said that so long as Ambedkar remained an Indian Buddhist, he continued to remain in the ambit of Hindutva as his motherland and holy land continued to be Bharat
Opposition
to the partition of India
Savarkar opposed the partition of
India. In a telegram sent to Sjt. L. B. Bhopatkar, President, All India Hindu
Mahasabha, on the eve of the Meetings of the Working Committee and All India
Committee of the Hindu Mahasabha, 4 June 1947, he wrote,"My personal view is that we must vigorously protest against the creation of a Moslem state independent of the central Indian state. We will not sign willingly the death warrant of the integrity of Hindusthan."
Support
for Jewish state in Palestine
Savarkar in a statement issued on
19 December 1947, expressed joy at the recognition of the claim of Jewish
people to establish an
independent Jewish state, and likened the event to the glorious day on which Moses led them out of Egyptian bondage. He
considered that justice demanded the restoration of the entire Palestine to the
Jews, their historical holy land and Fatherland. He regretted India's vote at the United Nations against the
creation of the Jewish state terming the vote a policy of appeasement of MuslimsSavarkar Meets Netaji Bose: Azad Hind Fauz and it’s seed were sown
It was that the period after 1939 started giving clouts to the World war-II. The Britishers were finding it hard to rule at most of the places where they had a equal strength of the forces to nullify them and one such Force was the Army led by Germany and Adolf Hitler. Hitler at one stage was so strong that the United States was finding his heat very hard to bear. Europe was in his palm and the only force that was a thron to Hitler was Great Britain. Hitler had the Army and the ammunition that could have completely destroyed the British Empire from the world That made Britain to move to USSR which was freed from the family of the Tsar rule in 1917 By 1923 USSR was very strong enough to call itslef a major power. This was that drew Britain close to USSR.This was the time that Veer Savarkar somehow could met Netaji Subash Chandra Bose. Savarkar was HEAVILY impressed by Netaji, his vision for India, his vision for the World and the power that could make the World with India adding it’s strength to the power
Netaji found Veer Savarkar a very wise and a learned man; He appreciated Savarkar
An enemy to the enemy could be India’s friend as Indians were the enemy to the British. This is what the opinions of Savarkar and Netaji were. Netaji’s understanding of the world, It’s power and it’s problems touched and made Savarkar to feel that this is the man whom he should be for. It was here that Savarkar advised Netaji to leave the shore of the country, meet the other leaders of the world, and form an Army taking the help of them to oust the Britishers from this nation. It was he who advised Netaji to form an Army with the prisoners languishing at various jail at abroad and train them on the military lines to fight the British.This was the suggestion that Netaji took to form an Army which was known as AZAD HIND FAUZ.
Lord Irwine- Mahatma Gandhi’s pact, 1929: Subash & Savarkar utterly dissapointed
A pact was signed between Lord Irwine and Mahatma Gandhi. It was all about that if the Indian in the future had to support the Britishers for the World war and other such things where the Britishers would use the Indian force to stay itslef in the hunt for the super-power, the GARAM DAL led by Netaji and some of the famous Indian then, had send a letter to Mahatma Gandhiji to pressurise the British through Lord Irwine to take Bhagat Singh out from the lahore Jail.There were other such that the Britishers would have to compensate the Indian farmers and those who had lost millions of COWS due to the British COW-CASH theory, and the British would not impose any tax for the Salt that were made in India.That apart the Britishers would have to levy new taxations for the land and the agricultural produce that were produced by the Indian farmers .None of them were accepted by the Britishers wnd when the Bhagat Singh plea got rejected the Indian GARAM-DAL leaders lost all their faith and the respect for the Congress and Gandhiji
It was here that externally afterwards Netaji Subash Bose was very criticval about Mr Gandhi at abroad and spoke in a very harsh manner about all these and Veer Savarkar followed it in India. Both were of the view that Bhagat Singh could have been saved but purposely he was not. Sencing the danger that would come out the Britishers preponed Bhagat Singh’s going to the gallow and it’s act by one day This had irked the nation very badly at India. The onus fell onto Veer Savarkar but he was not to be blamed for it as the entire youth of the India wanted that to take place but it did not. Every Indian wanted Bhagat Singh to be freed out of the punishment that waas served to him.That could have been averted but Mahatma Gandhi due to the cold approach and the act of Motilal Nehru did not take the thing as it ought to be had taken and Bhagat Singh was send to the gallows.
Fascism
and World War II
Savarkar has praised the growth of Italy and Germany during the Fascist and
Nazi rule; he
believed that at that specific point in their history, Nazism and Fascism were "the most congenial tonics,
their health demanded. Savarkar
criticised Nehru for opposing Nazism, arguing "Surely Hitler knows better
than Pandit Nehru does what suits Germany best". However, in the
very next sentence of his speech, he goes on to say, "India may choose or
reject, particular form of Government, in accordance with her political
requirements". In his 1949 book, Hindu
Rashtra Darshan, Savarkar wrote "Nazism proved undeniably the
savior of Germany".Savarkar often compared Germany's German
majority and Jewish minority as analogous to India's Hindu majority and Muslim
minority, though Savarkar never mentioned the persecution of Jews in Germany.
Savarkar never said that he was a proponent of murder and genocide against
minorities, and instead desired peaceful assimilation. Savarkar condemned both German Jews and the Indian Muslims for their
supposed inability to assimilate. In 1938, he wrote, "if we Hindus in
India grow stronger in time, these Moslem friends of the league type will have
to play the part of German
Jews."
Jews :
He supported the Israelis and the Jews
Savarkar supported the
establishment of the Jewish state of Israel, which was not
only in the spirit of his nationalism but also what Savarkar saw in the Jewish
state as a barricade against the Muslim Arab world. Savarkar said in his
statement titled, 'A Statement on the Jewish International Question', "I have every sympathy with the
Jewish people in Europe and elsewhere in their distress".
Muslims
: He felt that Muslim and Hindus in India were equal
Savarkar spoke a few times about
providing equal rights and protection to Muslims, Jews and other minorities. In
his 'Public Appeal to the Bombay Electorate in the Non Mohammedan
Constituency', on 24 November 1945, he said,"The whole programme of the Hindu Mahasabha is so genuinely Indian National, so democratic, based on the principle of ‘one man one vote’ whether he be a Hindu or a Parsee or a Moslem or a Jew, and equal treatment to all before the Law as citizens of one centralized Indian State. In short the Hindu Mahasabha is out to fight to realize the above mighty mission. First of all it recognizes no majority and no minority. It visualizes all as Indian citizens of an Indian State bearing equal status. But if that high ideal proves too impracticable then the only compromise that Hindu Mahasabha will accept is the principle of population proportion. All sections, as the Hindus, the Moslems Christians, etc., will have representations according to their population proportion nothing more nothing less. Services will go by merit alone, irrespective of castes or creeds. A merited Parsee will have the first chance in an appointment if he is better fitted on merit than any number of Hindus and Moslems put together. On these and such other perfectly democratic, just and national principle does the approved constitution of the Hindu Mahasabha take its stand
Madanlal Dhingra
It ws Madanlal Dhingra who was the first to join Savarkar very openly and follow him for his belief and his saying to fight the cause of Indian Independence.It was Madanlal Dhingra the FIRST of all the Indian revolutinary who used a pistol to kill a British administrator who mercilesssly killed a Hindi revolutionary when he was unarmed That was the occasion that gave the belief that the Britishers who use bullets against the unarmed Indians should be paid back in equal respect and with all the toto’s
In 1909, Madan Lal Dhingra, a keen follower and friend of Savarkar, assassinated Sir William Hutt Curzon Wyllie in a public meeting. Dhingra's action provoked controversy across Britain and India, evoking enthusiastic admiration as well as condemnation. Savarkar published an article in which he all but endorsed the murder and worked to organize support, both political and for Dhingra's legal defence. It was this which send the message and then the entire World saw the way Khudiram Bose threw a bomb on the British for which he was killed when his age was only 15 by sending him to gallow and thereafter we saw Bhagat Singh hurling that bomb in the assembly at Delhi.
At a meeting of Indians called for a condemnation of Dhingra's deed, Savarkar protested the intention to condemn and was drawn into a hot debate and angry scuffle with other participants. A secretive and restricted trial and a sentence awarding the death penalty to Dhingra provoked an outcry and protest across the Indian student and political community. Strongly protesting the verdict, Savarkar struggled with British authorities in laying claim to Dhingra's remains following his execution. Savarkar hailed Dhingra as a hero and martyr, and began encouraging revolution with greater intensity.
A group photo of people accused in the Mahatma Gandhi's murder case. Standing: Shankar Kistaiya, Gopal Godse, Madanlal Pahwa, Digambar Badge. Sitting: Narayan Apte, Vinayak D. Savarkar, Nathuram Godse, Vishnu Karkare
It is believed that Veer Savarkar had planned with Nathuram Gjodse to kill and finish Mahatma Gandhi. Actually that was a wrong notion and a wrong concept which still engulfs the belief of the Indians and the countrymen of India they were as many as eight person in toto who were discusiing about how to stop Mr gandhi to avoid him paying the remaining of the 48 crores that the mahatma was about to pay to Mr Jinnah to run Pakistan. Mr Gandhi already had paid Rs 25 crores when Jinnah had left the shores of India to Pakistan. When nothing came out of the sight, then it was Nathuram Godse who in himself and mentally all alone decided to go in for the kill. Nobody knew from these eight people that Nathuram Godse was going to kill Gandhiji. After killing Gandhiji, as these eight were believed to be talking about the plans of Gandhiji and his effort to hand over the booty to Mr Jinnah, the Government of the day feeling that these could be the brains of that murder, tortured each of these to reveal the truth but finding that they were never in the act of it, to kill Gandhiji were allowed to go free. However still a AIR of NONSENCE had and has been pumped here at India for the people to believe that Mahatma Gandhi was kiledd by the pre-planning of Veer Savarkar which infact is untrue
Madam Indira Gandhi too was appreciative of Veer Savarkar
It was in 1970 when Madam Indira Gandhi ordered the Postal department to trelesae a postal stamp on Mahaveer savarkar and she also wrote an letter in appreciation for Mr Savarkar. Though NOT verbally but Madam Indira Gandhi at last could realise the effort of Mahaveer savarkar and his role that he played to UNITE and FIGHT for India for her independence.
This article is NOT written to authenticate Mahaveer Savarkar to be conferred the BHARAT RATNA at all or to make him someone who is a GOD. NO, and NEVER it is the case for writing the article
It is just to PROVE that the WORDS that comes out of the mouth of the CONGRESS are NOT THE GOSPEL OF TRUTH and the pictures as well as the authenticated verified documents are here to prove the difference or the DIFFERENTIAL RELATION between the APPROPRIATE and the CORRECT
NOT WHAT THE CONGRESS SAYS IS WHAT WE HAVE ALWAYS TO BELIEVE FOR
That is it
