Well with people like Rash Behari Bose praising Savarkar as most important personality in Indian Independence Movement in 1939, such tall leader doesn’t needs certificate from non nuanced people like @t_d_h_nair
Of course people like @t_d_h_nair have no clarity that independence case because of INA at large along with other mutinies.
Does Mr Nair who founded first INA?
It was Rash Behari Bose who had founded based on militarisation policy always shown as way to independence by Savarkar.
This letter by Savarkar’s secretary to KC Das shows link between Netaji, Rash Behari & Savarkar leading to Azad Hind Fauj.
I know it will be too much to ask from @t_d_h_nair to read , but @vikramsampath in his second volume on Savarkar had very well established that Savarkar indirectly led to independence through the military mutiny which he always saw as path right from writing book on 1857.
Savarkar was so keen to act upon world wars for seeing it as best opportunity to hit the British.
Someone should tell @t_d_h_nair that the letter mentioned here showing the link between INA, Netaji, Savarkar & Rash Behari Bose can be read in a book “The Two Great Indians In Japan” by Japanese Ohshawa published in 1954
And @t_d_h_nair as far as WA university photoshop is concerned consult @Ashok_Kashmir who has yet to show primary source name to @anujdhar & @chandrachurg for an image put in his book showing Savarkar targeting Netaji through bow & arrow.
Bada aaya challenge wala...

Read more about this Ganpati in Buddhist Kanṭ̣aka Cetiya in this paper by M.K. Dhvalikar that shows how Hindu Ishvara Ganesha was very much part of Buddhist tradition.
1/n The founder of INA, Rash Behari Bose had found "a real leader of men," increasing his "revolutionary zeal," while meeting with Jatindranath Mukherjee(Bagha Jatin).
Snippet of text:book by Uma Mukherjee(1966)
2/n Arun Chandra Guha, a MP of Congress (1952-67) in his book, "First Spark of Revolution" described Jatin's acts after Alipore Case as "daring actions in Calcutta and in the districts, to revive the confidence of the people in the movement (...)"
Refer page 163, 1971 edition
3/n According to the Sedition Committee Report 1918, Jatin had introduced in "bank robbery on automobile taxi-cabs," a new feature in revolutionary crime (as they called it).
But something is interesting here. Although Gandhi ji wanted the proposed flag to be presented at the Congress session of 1921, but it wasn’t complete on time.
Hence instantly another flag was proposed at the session with similar idea of religions with upgradation.
Gandhi points out later for the delay to be fortuitous since it allowed him to add colour for other religions. Along with red & green, white was added to represent all the other religions.
While historians like Yusuf Ansari keep normalising Muslim Invasions Primary sources keep reminding us of atrocities.
Let’s check a few.
Qazi Mughisuddin's reply to Sultan Alauddin Khalji when he asks how to treat Hindus?
2/n Alauddin: "How are Hindus designated in the law, as payers of tributes or givers of tribute?
Qazi Mughisuddin: “They are called payers of tribute, & when the revenue officer demands silver from them, they should tender gold.
3/n If the officer throws dirt into their mouths, they must without reluctance open their mouths to receive it. By doing so they show their respect for the officer. The due subordination of the zimmi is exhibited in this humble payment & by this throwing of dirt in their mouths.
The historian Yusuf Ansari is losing all that should make him historian & more a troll.
@feludamitter said it for “those who accuse Pushyamitra” not that it makes accusations true.
Even Prof Thapar disagrees on accusations against Pushyamitra.
There is a reason @yusufpore that why no one could take up challenge of SR Goel put decades back to prove Hindus destroyed Buddhist Places.
I give this challenge to you again. Prove it using “Contemporary Primary Source”.
There is a reason why Prof Thapar too disagrees.
And as a matter of caution I must show you that how foolish it is to claim that Pushyamitra destroyed Buddhist places. This is the thread. As start Historian Yusuf should begin by refuting it as part-1 of challenge given by SR Goel.
