FACTS ABOUT VEER SAVARKAR

 

  • Early Advocacy for Hindutva: From a young age, Savarkar was a staunch advocate for Hindutva. At the age of 12, he led a march to vandalize a mosque, retaliating against perceived injustices by Muslims towards Hindus.
  • Imprisonment and Release: In 1911, Savarkar was sentenced to 50 years in the Cellular Jail of Andamans for opposing the Morley-Minto reforms. He was released in 1924 after submitting multiple mercy petitions.
