New Delhi: Hailing Veer Savarkar as the first military strategist and Indian military minister in the 20th century, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said it was about the request of Mahatma Gandhi that he wrote a compassion of compassion to the British and the wrong people accused him become fascist.
At the book launch here, Singh described Savarkar as a “national icon” and said he gave the “strong defense and diplomatic doctrine”.
“He is an icon of Indian history and will remain so.
There may be differences of opinion about him, but to look at low because inferior is inappropriate and justified.
He is a fighter of freedom and nationalists, but the people who follow the Marxist ideology And Leninist is the people who accuse Savarkar to be fascist …, “Singh said, adding that the hatred of Savarkar was not logical.
Speaking of Savarkar as Freedom Fighter, Singh said his commitment to freedom was so strong that England sentenced him to life in prison twice.
“Lies are spread about Savarkar repeatedly.
It spreads that he proposed a lot of compassion of mercy to seek his release from prison …
It was Mahatma Gandhi who asked him to apply for mercy …,” Defense Minister said.
Savarkar frankly in saying that Indian relations with other countries must depend on how conducive the bonds are on Indian security and their interests, regardless of the type of government in these countries, he said.
“Savarkar is the expert of Indian’s first military strategic affairs in the 20th century, which gave a strong defense state and diplomatic doctrine,” said Singh.
Discussing the concept of Hindutva Savarkar, he said the word “Hindu” for him was not associated with any religion and it was related to Indian geographical and political identity.
For Savarkar, Hindutva is associated with cultural nationalism, he added.
“For Savarkar, the ideal state is one where citizens are no different from their culture and religion and therefore, there is a need to understand the Hindutva people,” BJP veteran leader said.
Adorable similar sentiments about Savarkar, Head of RSS Mohan Bhagwat said the ideology of Hindutva never suggested to distinguish between people based on their culture and methodology.
“Savarkar used to say, why do we distinguish? We are the sons of the same homeland, we are brothers.
Different worship methodologies have become the tradition of our country.
We have struggled for the country together,” Bhagwat said.
The underline that Savarkar is not a Muslim enemy, Head of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) said he had written a lot of Ghazal in Urdu.
Some people talk about the Hindutva and unity in Indian society, it’s just that Savarkar talks about it hard and now, after years, it is felt that everyone speaks hard, no division (from the country) will occur, he added.
“…
Muslims who migrate to Pakistan after the partition does not have prestige in the country, because they belong to India and it cannot be changed.
We have the same ancestors, only our worship methodology is different and we are all proud of our liberal culture of insane Dharma.
Heritage brings us ahead, which is why we all live here together, “Bhagwat said.
He also said whether it was the Hindutva Savarkar or Vivekananda Hindutva, everything was the same as they all talked about the same cultural nationalism where people were not distinguished based on their ideology.
