1. Since October of last year, historian Dr. @vikramsampath has been subjected to a co-ordinated witch-hunt for merely presenting an evidence-based picture of Veer Savarkar, which he has the right to. It is important to understand the motivations behind the attacks on him.
2. Dr. Sampath's scholarship effectively upsets two Leftist myths - that the Left is the sole repository of scholarship and intellectualism, and that they alone shall decide for the rest of us as to who can be celebrated as icons. Thought Control is the end goal of the Left.
3. Unlike d partisan "scholarship" of d Left,Dr. Sampath's work is not a eulogy of Savarkar,but a dispassionate presentation of facts to bust popular myths. But since he has dared to undo the manufactured myths, he has upset some very powerful individuals, groups and interests.
