Sarted reading the second volume of @vikramsampath 'a magnum opus on Veer Savarkar. His conv with Shaukat Ali of Khilafat fame is eye opening. SA wants Savarkar to give up his Hindu Sanghathan for unity. This conversation could be happening right now!. Look at SA's brazenness

"MUslims have been converting Hindus for a long time. Whereas the Shuddhi ceremony is new. So Hibdus should give it up" is the thrist of his argument.
Basically, Mera kutta Tommy, Tuadda kutta kutta

Isnt this the same conversation the India RW and the Leftists/Islamists are having today?

Nothing has changed in a 100 years. The same riots. Music played before mosques by Hindus. Sunni- Shia riots.
Instead of Pandit MA Chamupati then, it is Kamalesh Tiwari now.

One could use this same argument in the context of the #CAA and #Afghanistan . In fact, many Indians are making this exact same argument. Nearly a 100 years apart!
#Savarkar #Kabul

Breaking caste barriers!. Words of NC Kelkar, ex RSS Chief. Not quite fascist eh?

The Hibdu Mahasabha spoke of eradicating child marriage, polygamy, widow remarriage, female illiteracy.

Not quite the #Talibans #Taliban eh folks? Cant believe the bad rep that the RSS has got!

#VeerSavarkar 's definition of a Hindu. Nothing communal about it is there?

#VeerSavarkar articulating his ideas on the 7 shackles of Hinduism. I camt disagree with a single one of them.

Why is he considered a conservative and a fascist again???

Savarkar's way of breaking caste was to get everyone to wear the sacred thread. Ramaswamy Naicker was nihilistic in his approach and that has continued in TN fown the ages with all the thread cutting etc.
I prefer Savarkar's approach.
