There is a spike in articles about Veer Savarkar lately looks like there is something good about him which the commies want to hide ? I read this about him sometime before not sure how true it is
Those who were considered to be dangerous by British Govt were sent to Cellular Jail. Nehru & Gandhi lived their life in comfort.
It's easy to meet a bullet and lie in peace for once and for all, takes courage and the guts of iron to willingly stand tortures day in and day out for years and years and years.
Veer Savarkar was jailed & tortured in Andaman's Cellular Jail for more than 10 years. W...as meted out a treatment so inhuman that a lesser mortal would break down within a week and commit suicide or prefer being given a swift death. But not Veer Saavarkar.
He wrote his book on Freedom struggle on the walls of jail. He realized that he can inspire people to fight for freedom only by getting out of Cellular Jail & be in mainland since wars are won by soldiers who are alive, not by ones who are dead.
When Savarkar was in Cellular Jail, the freedom struggle slowed down. For the sake of motherland & freedom struggle, he did something for which he knew he would be ostracised for, be called a 'coward mercy seeker' for the rest of eternity. And yet he adopted a strategy of tacticall retreat where he gave an impression of a weak, broken down 'reformed' convict in the eyes of British, and then asked for mercy plea.
After many peitions, the British govt finally released him but they were so scared of him that they kept him in House arrest in his home in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri for rest of his life.
However, being in the mainland, which was his strategy, he met and inspired millions of freedom fighters. Just his presence was enough to give confidence to freedom fighters. It gave a boost to the freedom struggle.
His book 'The Indian War of Independence' about the Indian rebellion of 1857 was banned even before its publication. When Savarkar was in Ratnagiri, Bhagat Singh met him. Bhagat Singh was very much inspired by Savarkar's thoughts and his book that he published the book in Gurumukhi language and distributed among people.
The soldiers fight with full force till the commander is standing with them. The moment the commander is dead, the soldiers run away. Veer Savarkar played the role of commander.
Sacrifice is all glorious and noble but wars are won by soldiers who stand their ground and fight even in face of defeats and humiliation.
Today we remember the greatest freedom fighter and nationalist idealogue of modern india, on his Jayanti.
