Today on Feb 26, we observe the 55th death anniversary of Veer Savarkar. Born in 1883 in Mumbai (then Bombay), Veer Savarkar was a revolutionary of the Indian freedom struggle. Along with this, he was a politician, lawyer, writer and exponent of Hindutva philosophy. For about 25 years, Savarkar was a prisoner of the British for one reason or the other. He was sentenced to two separate sentences of 25 years each and sent to Andaman i.e. 'black water' (kala pani) away from India to serve the sentence.
But from here Savarkar's second life begins. His 9 years and 10 months in jail ended Savarkar's opposition to the British rather than increasing them. In the year 2000, the Vajpayee government sent a proposal to the then President KR Narayanan to confer 'Bharat Ratna', India's highest civilian honor, to Savarkar.
On the sixth day of Mahatma Gandhi's assassination in 1948, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar was arrested from Mumbai for his involvement in the conspiracy to assassinate Gandhi. However, he was acquitted in February 1949. Today on his death anniversary netizens shares tributes in forms of quotes, pics, HD images and sayings:
