FREEDOM FIGHTER SPEECH

Good morning everybody.


Respected teacher and my dear friends
Today Iam going to talk about an Indian freedom fighter veer
savarkar
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar was born on 28 May 1883 in bombay, He was known among his
followers by the honorific prefix Veer,He was an Indian politician, activist, and writer. He
developed the Hindu nationalist political ideology of Hindutva while imprisoned at Ratnagiri in
1922. He was a leading figure in the Hindu Mahasabha. Savarkar began his political activities as
a high school student and continued to do so at Fergusson College in Pune. He and his brother
founded a secret society called Abhinav Bharat Society. When he went to the United Kingdom for
his law studies, he involved himself with organizations such as India House and the Free India
Society. He also published books advocating complete Indian independence by revolutionary
means. One of the books he published called The Indian War of Independence about the Indian
Rebellion of 1857 was banned by the British colonial authorities. In 1910, Savarkar was arrested
and ordered to be extradited to India for his connections with the revolutionary group India
House. After 1937, he started traveling widely, becoming a forceful orator and writer, advocating
Hindu political and social unity.. Serving as the president of the Hindu Mahasabha, Savarkar
endorsed the idea of India as a Hindu Rashtra (Hindu Nation). He started his militarisation of
Hindus from then in order to liberate the country and protect the country and Hindus in the future.
Savarkar was critical of the decision taken by the Congress working committee in its Wardha
session of 1942, passed a resolution which said to the British colonial government: "Quit India
but keep your armies here" which was the reinstallation of the British military presence in India,
which he felt would be much worse. In July 1942, as he felt extremely stressed carrying out his
duties as the president of Hindu Mahasabha, and as he needed some rest, he resigned from the
post, the timing of which coincided with Gandhi's Quit India Movement. He wrote 38 books in
English and Marathi, consisting in many essays, two novels called Moplah Rebellion and the
Transportation, poetry and plays, the best-known of his books being his historical study The
Indian war of independence, 1857 and his pamphlet Hindutva.. Under Savarkar, the Hindu
Mahasabha openly opposed the call for the Quit India Movement and boycotted it officially. Veer
savarker died on 26 February 1966.
