This is despite the fact that Sardar Patel, the first Home Minister of India, held Savarkar responsible for Mahatma’s murder. In a letter to Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister of India, dated February 27, 1948, Patel wrote, It was a fanatical wing of the Hindu Mahasabha directly under Savarkar that hatched the conspiracy (to kill Mahatma) and saw it through. And today, the same Savarkar is portrayed as a national hero, thanks to an aggressive campaign by the present day followers of Hindutva to idolize Savarkar by distorting facts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is the outcome of a sincere urge to separate facts from myths and present historical facts as they unfolded in the history of India’s freedom Struggle. In order to know the real Savarkar of Pre-Independence India, the author has mainly relied on original documents available in the archives of Hindu Mahasabha, the RSS, the government of India and the memoirs of revolutionaries who were in the Andaman Cellular Jail with Savarkar. These startling documents show that Savarkar, like the Muslim League, believed and practiced the two-nation theory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Hindu Mahasabha under his leadership ran coalition governments with the Muslim League. He not only kept aloof from the Freedom Movement but also openly helped the British war efforts during the World War II at a time when Subhash Chandra Bose was trying to liberate India militarily. Savarkar remained a diehard believer in Castism, Racism and imperialism throughout his life. He called it Hindutva. This book also evaluates the original 1923 edition of Hindutva authored by Savarkar so that all those who cherish a democratic-secular India are able to understand the gravity of ideas which originated to undo India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFOREWORD BY D R GOYAL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDEDICATION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eACKNOWLEDGEMENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMyth 1: Savarkar Spent most of his life in the Cellular Jail\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMyth 2: Savarkar’s mercy petitions were a ruse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMyth 3: Savarkar was a legendary freedom fighter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMyth 4: Savaarkar fought against Muslim Communalism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMyth 5: Savarkar was a rationalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMyth 6: Savarkar had no role in Gandhi’s murder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMyth 7: Savarkar’s Hindutva provides scientific basis to Indian Nation\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Shamsul Islam \/ Media House \/ Paperback","offer_id":40783115419817,"sku":"18881","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/18881.jpg?v=1625497118"},{"product_id":"22471-majma-ul-bahrain","title":"Majma - ul - Bahrain","description":"\u003cb\u003e Shipping Note: This item usually arrives at your doorstep in 10-15 days\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Prince Muhammad Dara Shikuh\u003cbr\u003eTranslator(s)\/ Edito: Professor Mahfuz-ul-Haq\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Adam Publishers\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2006\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: multilingual\u003cbr\u003ePages: 146\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8174354603\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe purely artificial individual endeavours of an Akbar and a Dara Shikuh to introduce Hindu thought and speculation into Persian literature have remained almost completely isolated and sterile. A little literary theological island has been created which has remained uninhabited and from which no travelers have undertaken further voyages into the world of Islam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow Professor Mahfuz-ul-Haq comes, in the present publication, with a contribution of singular interest for this subject. It is not that this “Mingling of the two Oceans” proves to be a book of deep insight or great spirituality. But it gives us a starting point. From this little book we can work backwards and forwards. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Haq, by his painstaking translation and by the fullness on his annotation, has deserved well of his readers and has made easy the task of students in this particular field who may be neither Sanskritists nor Persianists. Dara Shikuh, whether he was great of soul or only an aristocratic but small dabbler in great things, will remain a tragic figure in human history. As the last continuator of a short line of activity begun by his great-grandfather, the great Akbar, he is also an historical figure in the development of Indian thought. For all these and many other reasons the present work is remarkable in which from beyond the gulf of death the voice of Hindu-Muslim Unity has been given life again, insistent, sincere and tragic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Transliteration\u003cbr\u003eErrata\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eSynopsis of Contents of \u003cbr\u003e   The English Translation\u003cbr\u003eEnglish Translation\u003cbr\u003eSynopsis of Contents of \u003cbr\u003e   The Persian Text\u003cbr\u003ePersian Text\u003cbr\u003eVariants\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndexes: \u003cbr\u003e1.
