Inspiring Contributions
The PM Modi highlighted Veer Savarkar’s profound impact on the freedom movement, stating that his contributions serve as a source of inspiration for the continual development and prosperity of the country.
Remembering Veer Savarkar
Veer Savarkar, born on May 28, 1883, in Nashik, was not only a freedom fighter but also a multifaceted personality—a politician, lawyer, and writer. Widely recognized for coining the term ‘Hindutva,’ he played a significant role in the ‘Hindu Mahasabha.’
Early Involvement in Freedom Movement
Veer Savarkar’s engagement in the freedom movement began during his high school years, continuing through his time at Fergusson College in Pune. Even while studying law in the United Kingdom, he actively participated in groups like India House and the Free India Society.
Revolutionary Ideas for Independence
Known for his revolutionary ideas, Savarkar authored books advocating for revolutionary methods to achieve complete Indian independence. His notable work, ‘The Indian War of Independence,’ focusing on the 1857 ‘Sepoy Mutiny’ or the First War of Independence, was outlawed by British colonial authorities.
As the nation remembers Veer Savarkar on his death anniversary, PM Modi’s homage emphasizes the enduring impact of his contributions in the quest for India’s freedom and integrity.
