  1. Tanmay Sangtani : gandhis stance towards British rule needs to be understood from d prism of Gandhi’s principle of non violence and he was open about the good things of English society which also included loyalty to ones nation. Savarkar professed aggression n violent methods to seek independence hence it doesn’t behove a revolutionary to seek pardon from the enemy. He even had Bhagat singh n others as role models to emulate But instead preferred cowardice to valour. His role before getting imprisoned cannot be belittled though, but his escapism cannot also be overlooked while judging his role towards the freedom movement. Gandhi on the contrary didn’t ask for any pardon or pity while in jail or protest. But through nonviolence protests he tried to overpower the British morally; so let’s not compare a CHAFF with the GRAIN

  2. Pranav Kamath : which Savarkar is acceptable to the hindutva wadis; the one who was a revolutionary or the one who propagated scientific temper by calling the Cow as only a useful animal devoid of any divinity and had the guts to call the bluff of the sanatans OR both

  3. Tanmay Sangtani : nobody doubts Savarkar patriotism & sacrifice But he was not the only 1 who faced torture as there were many who didn’t ask for clemency n faced d gallows with their heads held high. Savarkar it is told was not anti Muslim earlier but his bad experience with the Muslim inmates - who he thought mistakenly represent the common Muslims - in the Andaman jail convinced him that Hindus n Muslims cannot exist together and therefore it was his Hindu Mahasabha which supported the idea of partition. Savarkar was also accused as an accomplice in the assassination of Gandhi in the commission which was set up to investigate Gandhi’s killing after Savarkar was acquitted by the court for want of sufficient evidences. How can indians accept anybody as their hero who is accused of the assassination of a pious man like Gandhi who believed in universal harmony and had the guts to stop the warring donkeys from both the Hindus & Muslim communities by entering the bloody streets of Navkhali without any protection; So much was the believe of Gandhi in the principles of nonviolence that he didn’t just preach but also offered himself to the religious bigots baying for each other’s blood. It is sad but true that a social reformer like Savarkar will be known more for his alleged involvement in Gandhi’s assassination and less for his guts to cleanse the Hindu religion of all its dirt n filth even at the cost of distancing the Hindu fundamentalist who formed the core of his support base. Even Gandhi never had the guts to openly call the bluffs of the caste Hindus fearing noncooperation But Savarkar didn’t mince his words when it came to criticising the ill practices of the sick Hindu mindset. Unfortunately the Savarkar worshippers are highlighting his revolutionary episodes - which gets undermined by those 8 letters seeking clemency - instead of promoting the scientific temper for which he steadfastly stood all through his life. As far as comparing with Shivaji is concerned, let it be known that signing treaties in case of victory n defeat is part of the politics of kingdoms and there just cannot be any parallel between Shivajis political manoeuvring to save his kingdom with that of Savarkars clemency for saving his own life. Sadly for Savarkar the present n future generations regardless of their caste creed n religion will always compare his Clemency with the Supreme Sacrifices of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru & Sukhdev and will no doubt be inspired by the latter rather than the former ....

  4. Pranav Kamath : but u haven’t answered the question though; will the Savarkar bhakts ever highlight Savarkars zeal for developing scientific temper even at the cost of distancing the hardcore Hindu fundamentalists....Even Gandhi had no such guts for fear of inviting the wrath of the casteist who formed the back bone of the congress in those times ...
