The freedom fighter VeerSavarkar’s contribution to India

Vinayak Damodar ‘Veer’ Savarkar is back in the news, 38 years later he passed into the ages. The past supporter of Hindutva returned to the headlines when Petroleum Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar newly directed the removal of a plaque with a message by Savarkar from the traditional Cellular Jail on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Who was he and what was his contribution:

Swatantra Veer Savarkar was an Indian nationalist who performed an important role in the Movement of Nationalism and Independence of India.

• Born in the land of #Shivaji.
• Fought against the #British.
• Jailed for 2 life imprisonments in #Kala Pani for conducting war against Britain.
• Jumped from the ship into the sea, floated for hours, was captured again.
• Forced to grow as #Kolhu ka Bail (crusher’s bull) in Kala Pani.
• Arrested in 1911, set in Kala Pani for 10 years.
• Wrote poems remembering #Bharat Mata on the walls of prison with his nails.
• Then put in different jails for the next 3 years.
• Had police limitations until 1937.
• So a total of #26 years of imprisonment.
• Worked against the #caste system, #superstition, #Jihadi Gundagardi.
• Exposed #pigerals and #Adarsh Liberals of his time.
• BhagatSingh printed and distributed his banned book in India.
• Against Partition of India.
• Fought for the solidarity of India and he died. (1)

And today later 50 years of death, he is providing sleepless nights to communist terrorists, traitors, and pigerals. Must be a heavyweight. All the contributions of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar to Indian freedom fight are before 1911. After that, he distanced himself from India’s freedom struggle from 1911 to 1920 as he was in cellular jail.

#VeerSavarkar was the #great grandfather of the Indian freedom movement. Because when Congress and all it’s head guns were composing long live Victoria in Indian assembly, Savarkar was scrawling BharatMatakiJai on prison walls with nails. (2) One hopes that the modern generation sees him for what he was and does not see him through a distorted prism.
