Except that it is NOT "Savarkar's own quote"
Savarkar NEVER uttered these words. That is a FAKE quote attributed to Savarkar by journos in 1943.
He clarified it on the very next day that he was MISQUOTED.
But your kind has NEVER bothered to issue correction. Thread(1)

Savarkar was misquoted on that day (14 August 1943)
He clarified that press misquoted him & he never supported Jinnah's Pakistan theory on the very next day.
He appealed to press to issue correction to their bulletins. But they never bothered to correct themselves until today

A week later (23 August 1943), Savarkar published another clarification-
Savarkar-"I have been misquoted. I claimed that two nation theory exists.
Instead of reporting this, journalists simply misreported that I accept two nation theory. A storm has been raised on this issue"
Savarkar-"I have been misquoted. I claimed that two nation theory exists.

Savarkar says he "acknowledges the existence of two nation theory".
This is very crucial. Savarkar only said we would be blind not to acknowledge the existence of two nation theory and not see the damage it would cause. This has been distorted to claim he SUPPORTED partition

But what did Savarkar mean when he said "acknowledging existence of two nation theory"
Savarkar says- "Muslims are a nation. Islam never had geographical boundaries. As per Islam, world is divided into two nations. Darul Harb and Darul Islam. Islam doesn't tolerate nationalism"
Savarkar says- "Muslims are a nation. Islam never had geographical boundaries. As per Islam, world is divided into two nations. Darul Harb and Darul Islam. Islam doesn't tolerate nationalism"
So yes, according to Savarkar, Islam divides the world in two nations and Islam demands that Muslims create a separate nation for themselves (Pakistan in our case). But, does Savarkar agree with the demand of (Darul) Islam/ Pakistan and "support Jinnah"? HELL NO!
Acknowledging existence of two nation theory =/= supporting Pakistan as @dhruv_rathee fraudulently claimed.
"Savarkar insists although there are two nations,India SHOULD NOT be divided into two parts.
The two nations shall dwell in one country under one constitution"- Ambedkar

@dhruv_rathee So vehemently were Savarkar & Hindu Mahasabha opposed to Pakistan and Partition that they formed an "Anti Pakistan Front" even when congress and Gandhi already gave up Indian claim over NWFP, Sindh and West Punjab.
Savarkar castigates Congress for agreeing to Jinnah's demand

@dhruv_rathee To conclude, ex-'Islamophobe' @dhruv_rathee made two factually incorrect statements to smear Savarkar.
1) Attributed the fake 'I have no quarrel with Jinnah' quote to Savarkar
2) Made a factually incorrect claim that Savarkar and Hindu Mahasabha supported Partition
