{"product_id":"vinayak-damodar-savarkar","title":"Vinayak Damodar Savarkar","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinayak Damodar Savarkar is a name that stands out in the history of the Indian revolutionary movement. He was twice sentenced to life imprisonment and endured the harshest of imprisonments, including more than ten years in the notorious Andaman Islands prison. He was a great intellectual; some of his works are masterpieces in English and Marathi. His book, The Indian War of Independence: 1857, awakened the world to Indias cause of independence. He was the first to warn that appeasement of a segment of the countrys population could lead to partition.For Savarkar, the unity and integrity of the motherland were paramount. In 1947, India was divided on the basis of religion. How wrong was it to call it the motherland of Hindus, or Hindustan? He used to ask, Werent Hindus the majority? One must read his writings to understand that he did not envision Hindustan solely for Hindus. On the contrary, he even wished for the protection of the religion, culture, and language of the minorities.This book is merely a brief introduction to the life and contributions of Veer Savarkar, the great hero of the Indian freedom struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prabhat Prakashan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45872490250438,"sku":"DADAX9351868907","price":3.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/51mYrKs2e8L.jpg?v=1779513657","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/vinayak-damodar-savarkar","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
