Veer Savarkar Sahitya Sammelan inaugurated in Maharastra
Salient points of the speech of BJP National President Shri Amit Shah during inaugural session of Veer Savarkar Sahitya Sammelan in Thane, Maharashtra
Veer Savarkar worked to light the lamp of patriotism in the hearts
of millions of Indians and I am one of them
I urge the organizers that they should not limit Veer Savarkar
Sahitya Sammelan to Maharashtra because people who like and
respect Savarkar are spread across the country
The literature penned by Veer Savarkar has the ability to provide
ray of hope in the most trying circumstances
Veer Savarkar’s philosophy and thoughts are as much relevant
today in giving direction to the nation as they were decades ago
Veer Savarkar was a multi faceted personality. A person like
Savarkar, who was both writer and fighter, is born once in
centuries. He was a born nationalist, a social reformer, and a fine
orator who knew several languages
Indian literature has nine emotions including one on courage but
Veer Savarkar brought in the 10th emotion of patriotism through his
literary writings. These writings amply demonstrated how literature
can instill patriotism among countrymen
Only a patriot like Veer Savarkar could have written that Hey
Motherland, death for you is equivalent to 100 births while life
without you is equivalent to death. If those who criticize Savarkar
for the sake of politics read him even once, and if they have even
an iota of patriotism, they will not criticize him anymore
Number of citizens got Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan, and
Bharat Ratna but it is only in the case of Savarkar that the country
chose to give the title of Veer without any recommendation or
demand from political parties or signature campaign or propsal in
Parliament
Veer Savarkar was a lawyer but he could never practice. Unlike a
number of other freedom fighters who were also eminent lawyers,
Veer Savarkar was the only one who refused to take oath in
allegiance to the Queen and hence could not get his degree
The previous BJP government had installed Savarkar Jyoti in
Andaman Jail, where Veer Savarkar was kept by Biritsh and
tortured. Unfortunately, Savarkar Jyoti was put out by the UPA
government but now, I have personally visited Andaman Jail and
reignited that flame
It was bang opposite Veer Savarkar’s prison in Aandaman where
other freedom fighters were hanged to death every day. The
British though that the cries of those who were being executed
would break Savarkar emotionally and mentally but they could not
succeed
People may disagree with Veer Savarkar’s thoughts and ideology
but those who doubt his nationalism must remember that this
nation will not forgive them
Veer Savarkar was also an accomplished language scholar. He
worked to enrich our languages, introduced many new words and
thus made them complete
