Was Savarkar really a co-conspirator in the Gandhi murder?

Was there a pogrom against a particular community after Gandhi's assassination?

Decades after his death, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar continues to uniquely influence India's political scenario. An optimistic advocate of Hindu-Muslim unity in his treatise on the 1857 War of Independence, what was it that transformed him into a proponent of 'Hindutva'? A former president of the All-India Hindu Mahasabha, Savarkar was a severe critic of the Congress's appeasement politics. After Gandhi's murder, Savarkar was charged as a co-conspirator in the assassination. While he was acquitted by the court, Savarkar is still alleged to have played a role in Gandhi's assassination, a topic that is often discussed and debated.

In this concluding volume of the Savarkar series, exploring a vast range of original archival documents from across India and outside it, in English and several Indian languages, historian Vikram Sampath brings to light the life and works of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, one of the most contentious political thinkers and leaders of the twentieth century.

Unbelievable book, incredible author!

For ages we've been fed a one-sided almost Richard Attenborough version of how India attained her independence from colonial rule and the chief protagonists who helped achieve this. This book does an incredible job of shedding light on the fact that there were multiple movements across the country that eventually helped India attain independence and it wasn't as simplistic as one man wearing round glasses walking around the country with a stick in his hand who managed to defeat the colonizers. Forget the politics, read this book for the simple reason of knowing more about a revolutionary, scholar and poet who dedicated his entire life to his country but has been reduced to a mere foot-note in our history text-books. Not anymore, thanks to Vikram Sampath.

Well-researched and insightful read.

A very vital book for our times to understand the legend and his perspective. A detailed account of his life, action and views in the English language was missing and this book bridges in that gap. In recent times, there is a trend to make certain baseless allegations against such a legendary figure. In this context, it becomes vital that today's generation reads about this national hero from his own accounts and the primary sources of those times. Savarkar's immense sacrifices, his constant crusade for the rights of Hindus, his extensive work in Ratnagiri for eliminating untouchability, his constant harassment by British authorities, and later persecution by political rivals in an independent India are all factors that make this book a compelling read. The author has weaved a logical narrative, through painstaking research, based on contemporary primary sources to illuminate the reader on the multi-layered complex issues of the time. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested not only in Savarkar but also in learning about various freedom movements that ran parallel to, but differed in principle from, the Gandhian movement of the time.

Vikram has removed the dust of myths and lies around Savarkar like a true, objective historian and biographer. Lies that have been lying around for years about a personality who has contributed so much in freedom movement, social reform and civilisational awakening of Bharata. A true scholar who defined 1857 as the First War of Independence to whom we as a society have failed to recognise. It's time we give Veer Savarkar his due that we'd be obliged to give coz he deserves way more than that. A debt we cannot even repay!
