Atal Bihari Vajpeyi’s speech on Veer Savarkar is almost poetry! Veer Savarkar was one of the Indian heroes. One of the most fascinating, multi-talented personalities ever. Freedom fighter, nationalist, activist, thinker, writer, and sadly a very misunderstood personality too. Here was someone who braved the worst form of imprisonment at Cellular Jail for not one year, two years, but a whole decade. Imagine spending ten years in a hellhole, that would have broken the spirit of a lesser man. There is so much about Savarkar to be told, his fight for independence, his Hindutva philosophy, his stay in Cellular Jail.
