Swatantryaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (1883-1966) was a multidimensional personality—a freedom fighter, social reformer, writer, poet, historian, political leader and philosopher—all combined into one. Savarkar’s ideas of modernity, social and religious reforms, cultivation of scientific temper and embracing technological tools continue to be relevant in the 21st century.
‘Relevance of Savarkar Today’ 25 pearls of visionary wisdom by Veer Sawarkar, is the product of deep study and research by Dr. Ashok Modak.
Savarkar’s own quotations, author’s expert comments and nearly 60 supporting comments by senior political leaders, social reformers, intellectuals in 25 chapters illustrate the relevance of following visionary messages of Savarkar for a new India of 21st century.
Bring out a strong cohesive social fabric by unity
Hindutva embraces the whole being of Hindu race
Brave foreign policies for total defence of India
Strong India for the total happiness of mankind.
