Veer Savarkar : Allegations and Reality

Savarkar has been a center of discussion since Hindutva and Nationalism have taken a center stage in Indian politics in recent past. Various people including politicians have accused Savarkar with serious allegations, including his appeal for pardon. There is serious need of the hour that a systematic and authentic rebuttal is given to these allegations.

These allegations create unnecessary confusions and misunderstandings regarding Savarkar in the minds of scholars, researchers, Savarkar followers and the common people.

This book is a detailed account and a systemic rebuttal to the allegations on Savarkar. A worth read for the scholars, researchers of history as well as Savarkar lovers alike.

It is heartening to note that the English translation of Akshay Jog’s Marathi Book, “Veer Savarkar: Allegations and Reality” is available now in English. With this English edition, his work will now reach a wider readership outside Maharashtra and help to correct the warped picture that is portrayed of this patriot. My best wishes for the success of the book.
