Veer Savarkar has been one of my heroes. One of the most fascinating, multi talented personalities ever. Freedom fighter, nationalist, activist, thinker, writer and sadly a very misunderstood personality too. Here was some one who braved the worst form of imprisonment at Cellular Jail for not one year, two years, but a whole decade. Imagine spending ten years in a hellhole, that would have broken the spirit of a lesser man. Not to forget his revolutionary activities, his daring escapade in Marseilles, the way he defied the British. There is so much about Savarkar to be told, his fight for independence, his Hindutva philosophy, his stay in Cellular Jail. The purpose of my book is to showcase the real Savarkar to people who are being fed a leftist version of History, showing him as a traitor, when he was not.
