About:
This biography on Swatantrya Veer Savarkar is by Dr Arvind Godbole who had known Savarkar from close quarters. The book was originally in Marathi & translated to English by Dr Shreerang Godbole and Shri Rajaram Atre.
It is bigger than one written for children and smaller than a thesis-like biography enabling common readers to easily grasp Savarkar’s life, thoughts, personality, literature and prevailing conditions and thought-currents before the readers. The book has been organized into eleven small chapters – most having his aphorisms as their title.
Savarkar’s life is stranger than fiction. Most people feel that rather than even attempt to emulate him, it is best to salute him from a distance. However, there are several ideas and initiatives in Savarkar’s life that can be pursued even by ordinary mortals. The book also attempts to set the record straight regarding several allegations made against Savarkar. Though the book does not have a list of references, all statements made therein have documentary support.
