Meaning of extracting Savarkar special issue of ‘Antim Jan’by Gandhi Smriti Rajghat!

After the physical assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, an attempt to commit an ideological assassination!

Conspiracy to assassinate Mahatma Gandhi only after the Poona Pact! After starting, on the day of 30 January 1948, after killing ! Now this is the second attempt at his ideological level of conspiracy to murder! We have no objection to take out a special issue on the magazine Savarkar, which is being run by Panchjanya, Organizer or any Periodicals run by sangha ! But the sole purpose of the mentality of the people who wrote the letters praising Savarkar in the ‘Atti Jan’ run by Rajghat Smriti, this ideologically left over after the physical assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, the act of killing Gandhiji. Is !

        Because on what things can Mahatma Gandhi and Savarkar be compared? Savarkar wrote letters in the name of Queen Victoria to apologize four times in the name of strategy in his lifetime. (The first letter is written in Andaman on 4 July 1911, 30 – 8-1911 means ninety-six days, the second letter is 4-4-1913, the third letter 1917, and the fourth letter is written on 30 – 3-1920!)

              However, when Savarkar was imprisoned in Andaman Jail. (July 4, 1911) Already there, other political prisoners were already in the number of 148! And he was not free from the tortures of Savarkar any less! Savarkar was 149! And he was the only prisoner to have written about his tortures. And mercy petitions too! And it’s a surprise! That the advice to write that letter was given by Gandhiji. Responsible politicians like Rajnath Singh are saying this! Which Gandhi came to India from South Africa in 1915. And Savarkar’s younger brother Dr. Narayan Savarkar, after meeting with Gandhi in 1920, informed him of his brother’s prison situation in the Andaman, and Gandhi wrote the letter soon after! Which he has also published in Young India! But the Minister sitting on the post of Defense Minister of our country, Shri Rajnath Singh says that “Gandhiji had advised Savarkar to apologize!” And Abhitak Rajnath Singh has not taken his word back! So it has been considered a part of the work of Sangh Parivar to campaign against Gandhi.

                         Within fifty-six days from jail in Andaman, four of Savarkar’s letters for mercy are dated 1911, 1913, 1917 and 30 – 3 – 1920. And most surprisingly, in his mercy petition to the British rulers in all the four letters, he has assured that “I will explain to the young people who are fighting for independence how good the British rule is! And I will work specially to recruit in the British army.” ! And did it too!” To the people who spoke against Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, how did Gandhi-Nehru do injustice! I want to ask on this that “ Barrister Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, did the job of recruiting the British army! To prove to be helpful to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose or! To deal with his Azad Hind Fauj?

Mahatma Gandhi was one of the people who believed in truth as God. And barrister Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, in 4 letters to come out of the Andaman jail, said one after the other false things, even though Savarkar devotees would have called him a strategy! But 29 years from 1921 to Ratnagiri’s house arrest from Andaman and even more so in 1937 after being freed! Till 1966 Savarkar (born 28 May 1983 and died 26 February 1966) lived till the age of 83. Meaning, after his release in 1921, on 15 August 1947, Savarkar’s age was sixty-four years old. In which he was born on May 10, 1937, at the age of fifty-four. Ten years before independence! After completely freeing Ratnagiri from the house arrest, he recently published a book about the freedom movement and the partition that Veer Savarkar THE MAN WHO COULD HAVE PREVENTED PARTITION ! My question is WHY NOT SHOULD ? Who had stopped them? The Swayamsevaks of Abhinav Bharat and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, despite being established for more than twenty years, these two organizations together and established a political party named Hindu Mahasabha for Hindutva politics, which after the Lahore resolution of the Muslim League of Partition on 23 March 1940. Despite this, what was the basis of running the coalition governments in Sindh province and Bengal provinces? On the contrary, Mahatma Gandhi, who protested against the partition, was assassinated.

And it would be a great favor if any one of the Hindutvawadis could explain the secrets of going to power together with Barrister Mohammad Ali Jinnah! Was Savarkar’s liberation from the house arrest done on any condition? Because the talk of joining the Quit India Movement on 9th August is a far cry! On the contrary, under the leadership of the Muslim League, the representative of the Hindu Mahasabha, which was included in the government of Fazlul Rehman of Bengal province, Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee has written a letter of ten issues to the Viceroy! “How the people of Quit India Movement can be dealt with”! All this has been done for the service of which Mother India? What has happened to the hearts and minds of The people involved in the campaign of slander against Mahatma Gandhi, which is being run by any Hindutva so far?

                   And the partition for which Gandhi was held responsible and murdered! But none of the Hindutvaists have the name of Mai Ka Lal against partition. Who has protested by raising arms in his hands! On the contrary, an unarmed eighty year old man was shot dead. What is the bravery in this? Weapons were found for Gandhi but not for fighting the war against Partition. And today the effort to glorify the person who killed Gandhi continues unabated. Trying to build his temple! And Member of Parliament Pragya Singh Thakur and some Mahant said that the real Mahatma Gandhi is not Nathuram Godse! And the last person’s Savarkar special number is also a part of the same link! Is there a conspiracy to destroy the legacy left after Gandhi’s assassination?

            Because since 1909, Gandhi and Savarkar’s ideological differences had manifested. Hind Swaraj Kitbka Ek Cause In response to the discussions during the visit of Savarkar and Gandhi to London since 1906, after the Dussehra conference of 1909, the book written on the ship in the return journey from London to Africa has been titled as Hind Swarajya! Which Savarkar has wittyly called ‘Cult of Maro Kato’. And today the whole world is seriously contemplating on the gesture given in that book of Gandhiji.

On the contrary, from Sindh to Bengal, with the Muslim League demanding Pakistan (the Lahore resolution of the Muslim League of 23 March 1940)! In the absence of the Congress due to the Quit India Movement of 1942, the Hindu Mahasabha was in the coalition governments with the Muslim League in the provincial governments. And whose leaders were barristers Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and Syama Prasad Mookerjee. And Muslim League barrister Mohammad Ali Jinnah! Because Savarkar had started coining the principles of two nations Hindu and Muslim in his own England (1906). His younger brother Dr. Narayan Damodar Savarkar has written this in his role after translating a book called Hindutva to Marathi.

        In the year of Savarkar going to England to study in 1906 to 1911, leaving a part of the total five years before going inside the Andaman Jail! After ten years inside Savarkar’s Andaman Jail, till 1966! Apart from spreading Hindutva propaganda, what activities were they involved in? And in the present regime of the same Hindutvavadi, apart from the assassination of Gandhiji, it is only part of the conspiracy to eliminate his ideas! Savarkar special issue of ‘Last Jan’!

           Here are some glimpses of the apology names written by Savarkar! “Finally, Sir, I would like to remind you again that you should kindly reconsider my petition for remission sent in 1911, and recommend forwarding it to the Government of India.

The latest developments in Indian politics and the government’s policies to take everyone along have reopened the constitutionalist path. Now no one, who seeks the good of India and humanity, will blindly walk the thorny road, as the hopelessness and excitement of 1906-07 deviated us from the path of peace and progress.

Therefore, if the government, in its infinite kindness and kindness, releases me, I assure you that I will be the most staunch supporter of constitutional development and will remain loyal to the British government, which is the first condition of development.

     As long as we are in prison, there can be no real joy and happiness in the homes of hundreds and thousands of loyal subjects of His Majesty, because there is no greater relationship than blood. If we are released, people will shout with joy and gratitude in favor of the government, which knows to forgive and correct more than punish and avenge.

        More than that, my conversion to the constitutionalist path would bring on the right path in India and all the misguided youth living outside India who once looked up to me as their guide. I am ready to serve the Government of India as it pleases, because as this transformation of mine is the call of the conscience, so will my future behavior. The benefit to you by keeping me in jail is nothing compared to the benefit of releasing me from jail.

      The one who is strong can be kind and a promising son can return other than at the door of the government. I hope that Huzoor will consider my requests with kindness.

      This petition was sent by Savarkar to the British Government in 1913. Savarkar was released from jail in 1921 on the same apology. And till 1936, in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, he has been receiving house arrest and British pension. And at the same time he has done the work of recruiting Indian people in the English army. And at the same time Nathuram Godse’s father was transferred to Ratnagiri’s post office. So Nathuram used to leave his seventh standard at that time and go to Savarkar’s house every morning and come back to his house before sleeping at night. And the same Nathuram is called Savarkar with oath in the court filled! “that I don’t recognize it”! Now what can be the intention of the people who publish the special issue of the last Jan, the mouthpiece of Mahatma Gandhi’s Smriti Committee on such Savarkar? God is the truth of Mahatma Gandhi ji! And barrister Vinayak Damodar Savarkar wrote an apology from Andaman jail and from Curjhan Vayali to death of people from Madanlal Dhingra to Nathuram Godse, who was hanged in more murders! But Savarkar, after living a life of 83 years on the mind of his barrister, is fed up with the devotees who do not understand the reason for coming to the decision of his death (27 February 1966)?

So let me tell that this is the biggest frustration of Barrister Vinayak Damodar Savarkar’s life of 83 years! That from 1911 he wrote a book called Hindutva! And on the same basis the nation was divided. And how many barristers Mohammad Ali Zina is responsible for that! Equally more responsible, is Barrister Vinayak Damodar Savarkar too! And the third barrister Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi even gave his life against the partition!

Now my question to the readers is, which of the barristers was right and who was wrong among the three barristers? And the Smriti Committee of Mahatma Gandhi should be ashamed that they bring out the Savarkar special issue of the magazine started in the memory of Mahatma Gandhi. What can be a bigger insult to Mahatma Gandhi than this? For this mistake, I demand an apology from the chairman of the memory committee to all the office bearers.
