Truths about Savarkar: Arun Shourie's book is not a biography or analysis - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Mr Shourie quotes heavily from Savarkar’s first petition in 1911, written barely two months into his imprisonment in the Cellular Jail.

The extensively cited public oration has a section of romanticised exaggeration on Savarkar’s “great escape”: “The way he jumped into the sea; He jumped for freedom; The waves of that stormy sea; The infinite ocean; Limitless water; Where is the shore; Where will I end up...”.

In conclusion, the author contends that while Hinduism’s essence is the “inner-directed search”, Hindutva’s “is a project to capture, dominate, retain, twist and turn the State.” And, so Mr Shourie’s plea: “Save Hinduism from Hindutva.” Despite his exoneration of the organisation, his last plea will only earn the wrath of the RSS and its affiliates.
