It is funny that Periyarist Nazis from the media and the margarine Marxists are going to town about Savarkar's apology letters to the British.
Periyar was at his cowardly worst when he betrayed the Communists and gave an assurance to the British that he would not indulge in Communist propaganda. I don't think anybody can be more cowardly than him.
Savarkar was 27, with a wife and a joint family to look after, when he was arrested. The sentences were harsh.
The court not only sentenced him to 50 years of imprisonment, but also ordered the confiscation of his property.
As Sampath points out, “His trunks, books, garments and other belongings were put to public auction…. Even the cooking pots and utensils from his house were seized.”...
Cellular Jail in the Andamans, where he was lodged, was a chamber of horrors. Compared to it, the prisons where Gandhi, Nehru and others did time were cozy retreats.
Savarkar spent almost ten years in the Cellular Jail, several months of them in solitary confinement.
The British considered him very dangerous and did not grant him complete freedom for twenty-seven years.
What is more, our freedom fighters revered him. As Purandare quotes from Gandhi’s letter to C.R. Das, “He is brave. He is clever. He is a patriot. He was frankly a revolutionary. The evil, in its hideous form, of the present system of government, he saw much earlier than I did. He is in the Andamans for having loved India too well”...
Savarkar has to be assessed objectively but the Intellectual dwarves of Tamil Nadu who blindly follow the poisonous Nazi ideology of Periyar are incapable of doing it. The less said about the Communists who have been reduced to supplicant camp followers of all and sundry is the better....
