1/n #SadarPranam to Ishwara within you @waglenikhil ji. I’m sorry to say but you are spreading fake information about #Savarkar ‘s “Six Golden Pages” & also exposing ur flawed vocabulary skills. Read this string & respond(bt not b4 n/n)or else apologise for fakery. @Shubhrastha https://twitter.com/waglenikhil/status/1128586085880213504

2/n Let’s begin checking ur “use of words” as starter. You say “...totally anti-Muslim & Communal..” Any idea what does”communal”mean?

Is being Communal~Anti-Muslim? NO It’s not.

Definition of “Communal” in image2. In short anything relating to “one community” is “Communal”.

3/n So @waglenikhil by internationally accepted definition of “Communal” anyone calling “anti religion~communal” is but a FOOL. Do you get it?

Further,bcoz you have spoken for Gandhi, while shunning Savarkar. Let me give you a comparative though I’m an admirer of Gandhi. Read

4/n On October 7, 1905, Savarkar staged his first dissident act when he incited a group of students to burn a pile of foreign clothes. He was first Indian Political leader to call for Swadeshi. He was 22 then. Cc @Sanjay_Dixit

5/n The bonfire was criticised by Gokhale, the moderate leader who was the Guru of same Gandhi ji who did bonfire of foreign clothes 17 years afterwards.
( @waglenikhil can u clarify if Savarkar was wrong in 1905 or Gandhi in 1922,as Gokhale was against it,though Guru of Bapu)?

6/n Now, what was Gandhi Ji doing when he was 22? Any idea?

Gandhi, at age 22, was called to the bar in June 1891 and then left London for India. His attempts at establishing a law practice in Bombay failed because he was psychologically unable to cross-examine witnesses.

7/n He returned to Rajkot to make a modest living drafting petitions for litigants, but he was forced to stop when he ran afoul of a British officer Sam Sunny.
