Savarkar book cover

Savarkar

Vikram Sampath

This riveting book delves into the life of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, a controversial political thinker and leader of the 20th century who championed the ideology of Hindutva. As a strong opponent of Gandhi and the Indian National Congress, Savarkar's philosophy advocated for the Hindu community, encouraged inter-caste marriage, and dismissed cow worship as mere superstition. Despite his eventful and stormy life being oscillated between eulogizing hagiographies and disparaging demonization, this biography sheds new light on the man and his philosophy with original archival documents.
