"Upon my tongues continual
slanders ride,
Which in every language I
pronounce,
Stuffing the ears of men with false

Hi, Everyone! I found a
write-up on this link I am giving below (I have pasted the contents at the end
of this post:
It begins with the
following words:
“Recommended,
particularly for those who call him, inaccurately, “Veer” Savarkar.”
Since I have absolutely
decided I shall not remain quiet anymore, I dashed off a comment.
Unfortunately, it was not posted by the moderator of the website. I did write
to the contact person of “longreads” too but received no answer.
So I am posting my
answer here:
“I, Anurupa Cinar, am writing this
as one who very correctly describes Savarkar as one of the greatest freedom
fighters of India. I say this with the authority of four years of intensive
research on Savarkar, Gandhi, and the Freedom Movement of India. I have
presented my research conclusions in the form of a novel "Burning for
Freedom", released in June 2012.
What I have not been able to
address there, I am presenting to everyone as a series of blog posts on my
blog, www.anurupacinar.blogspot.com.
The topic I am currently writing on there is, Gandhi Facts: Gandhi Revealed
To get back to the issue of
Savarkar's petitions. Savarkar himself has written in many places, has advised
other freedom fighters, too, that any petition or pledge made to the British,
the enemy of Mother India's freedom, is not worth the paper it is written on.
Sign it, get free, and continue to work as free Indians for the cause of India,
so he has always avowed. Of course, there are petitions he made to the British,
but when he was free after making them, he continued to work for freedom of India.
He made these petitions, but unlike
Gandhi, he never, ever avowed allegiance or loyalty to the British. Visit my
blog for Gandhi’s loyalty to the British.
Any true Indian would be washed
over by shame before bringing up Savarkar’s petitions in “free” and
“democratic” India.
Before any mention is made of
Savarkar's petitions in free India, let us first see how his rights, and the
rights of thousands of other Hindus, were trampled upon ruthlessly by the
"democratic" Government of "free" India! Savarkar was taken from his home in
the early hours of the morning on February 5, 1948, with a trumped-up charge of
“preventive measures” under the Bombay Security Act. He was not allowed to see
anyone, not even a lawyer, until March 23, 1948!
Instead of imprisoning the actual
culprits killing the Brahmins, Hindu Mahasabhaites, and RSSmembers, the
Government went after the victims of these riots!
Savarkar’s petitions in “free,”
“democratic” India reflect only upon the Government’s Reign of Terror.
For answers visit www.savarkar.org to read of what actually
happened, and do read my novel “Burning for Freedom.” It is an eye-opener!

I do hope more voices

The
Text of the Post:
“Inamdar
mentions how anxious Savarkar was about his fate. On February 22, while in
detention at the Arthur Road Prison in Bombay, Savarkar gave a written
undertaking to the Commissioner of Police: “I shall refrain from taking part in
any communal or political public activity for any period the government may
require in case I am released on that condition” (Exhibit D/104 in the case).
This is not the conduct of a man innocent of the crime.
No
appeal was filed against his acquittal. Yet another undertaking was given to
Chief Justice M.C. Chagla and Justice P.B. Gajendragadkar in the Bombay High
Court on July 13, 1950, while he was in detention. “He would not take any part
whatever in political activity and would remain in his house” for a year. These
were part of a sordid series of abject, demeaning apologies.
The
first was on July 4, 1911, within six months of his entry in the Cellular Jail
in the Andamans, where Advani wanted to build a memorial to him. The second and
third were in October and November 1913 to Sir Reginald Craddock, Home Member
of the Viceroy’s Executive Council. “I am ready to serve the government in any
capacity they like…Where else can the prodigal son return but to the paternal
doors of the government,” this “nationalist hero” wrote.
The
fourth and fifth were submitted in 1914 and 1917. The sixth came on March 30,
1920. Its text was published in full in Frontline (see the writer’s
article “Savarkar’s mercy petition”, Frontline; April 8, 2005). The
seventh was submitted in 1924 ( Frontline, April 7, 1995). The ones of
1948 and 1950 were the eighth and ninth. Which other political figure had such
a disgraceful record of abasement before the British during the Raj?
Gandhi’s
murder was also one in a series—Curzon Wylie’s in London in 1909, A.T.M.
Jackson, Collector of Nashik, in 1910; and the attempted murder of Acting
Governor of Bombay Ernest Hotson in 1931. In each case Savarkar used others as
his pawns.
Those
who laud him ignore this long and consistent record from 1911 to 1950 because
they value his doctrine.”
