Okay. It's #Savarkar_Jayanti. #Savarkar's birth anniversary. We all know he went to Kalapani. But do we know WHY?

I'm writing a novel based off of those events, so I've been extensively reading on them. A thread:
In 1905, India was in the throes of British rule. The Indian National Congress was nothing more than an old dudes club where they passed pointless resolutions on everything.

Three of its members disagreed. Lala lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Bipin Chandra Pal. Lal-Bal-Pal.
They were more or less just writing articles highlighting the atrocities of the British on Indians, and even that was getting shut down. Tilak was sent to prison in Mandalay, Burma for his seditious articles.

My tributes to the great son of Mother India Vinayak Damodar Savarkar on his birth anniversary today.

Veer Savarkar was a multidimensional personality - a freedom fighter, social reformer, writer & political thinker. #VeerSavarkar Image
Savarkar envisioned a casteless India and started one of the most powerful social reform movements against untouchability. #VeerSavarkar
During imprisonment in the Cellular Jail, Savarkar was subjected to harsh treatment and solitary confinement. His indomitable spirit and commitment to free his motherland from foreign oppression will be always remembered. #VeerSavarkar
