About the Book: Savarkar: The True Story of the Father of Hindutva
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar is one of the most fascinating men in Indian history. A
man who in the first part of his life wanted HinduMuslim unity yet later became
the father of Hindutva. A man who called for complete independence twenty years
before the Congress but didnt participate in the Quit India movement. A man who
in his younger days was friendly with Gandhi but was later seen as the
inspiration behind his killing.
Based on Savarkars original Marathi papers, accounts of his contemporaries,
several of them untranslated from Marathi, court and government records, and
newspapers
