#VeerSavarkar ie Vinayak Damodar aka Swatantryaveer Savarkar [स्वातंत्र्यवीर] was born on 28 May 1883. He formed Revolutionary organization 'Mitramela' in 1900 aged only 17 and expanded it to 'Abhinav Bharat' in 1904. Congress falsely accused him of rape! SHAME! (1)

For the killing of a British officer, Swatantryaveer Savarkar i.e. #VeerSavarkar was convicted along with Karve & Deshpande & given 50 years jail in 1910. This itself shows his contribution towards the freedom movement. How many Congress leaders got such a sentence? (2)

#VeerSavarkar was the 1st revolutionary to write a book on the 1857 revolt, calling it as 'War of Independence' which was published in Holland in 1909. It was banned in India by the British even before its publication! So much the British feared Savarkar. (3)

For publishing this book on the 1857 revolt called "The Indian War of Independence" in Holland, #VeerSavarkar had to sell his wife's jewellary to raise money. British banned it in India even before publication. No help was got from anyone, Tilak offered help after publication (4)

#VeerSavarkar was sentenced to 2 life terms in 1910. British imprisoned him from 1910-1937, out of which 10-11 years were very harsh in Andamans. He was brought to Ratnagiri in 1921. Till 1924 he was in Jail. Then from 1924 to 1937 under confinement in Ratnagiri. (5)

Aged 22 & still a student, #VeerSavarkar had organised the FIRST public bonfire of foreign clothes in Pune in 1905. This historic event was attended by Lokmanya Tilak, 'Father of Indian Unrest'. At this time, Cong leaders called British Rule in India as 'Providential Gift'.(6)

In 1880s & 90s Cong leaders called British Rule as God's Gift. Even in 1911 Cong President Bishan Dar said:"British rule is STILL THE GREATEST GIFT OF PROVIDENCE TO INDIA" [Pt Bishan Narayan Dar's speeches & writings",Presidential address 307 of 1911]When Savarkar fought! (7)

In 1910 #VeerSavarkar was arrested in London for killing of 2 British officers. His lawyers tried not to get his case transferred to India where he would receive harsher punishment, compared to that which he would get if the case was tried in England (8)

At that time, a fund collection drive was organised by his admirers who included Englishmen like David Garnett in 1910 when #VeerSavarkar was arrested in London, for his cause, to try to get the case tried in England and not in India, where he would receive harsher punishment.(9)

In 1910 young & wealthy Jawaharlal Nehru was studying in England. When Niranjan Pal went to Nehru to ask for his contribution to raise money for #VeerSavarkar's cause, Nehru flatly refused to donate. English admirers like Garnett gave, but not Nehru! (10) #CONgressInsultsSavarkar

For this cause of #VeerSavarkar in 1910,the Prince of Dharampur,Chandra Devji secretly donated 500 pounds (of those days). Years later, the Prince revealed this. But young & wealthy Jawaharlal Nehru who was studying in England not only refused but had Niranjan Pal thrown out.(11)

In 1935 when #VeerSavarkar was under confinement in Ratnagiri a massive signature campaign was launched to demand his unconditional release. But Jawaharlal Nehru refused to sign it! Nehru welcomed Savarkar to full freedom in 1937 but refused to sign the petition! (12)

On 31 Jan 1948, a day after Gandhiji was killed, 1500 people, mostly Congressmen attacked #VeerSavarkar's house in Mumbai & his younger brother Dr Narayanrao was injured & DIED LATER. As per Gandhi, other cheek should be shown. Instead violence was done on innocents! (13)

On 10 Feb 1949 the trial court acquitted #VeerSavarkar in the Mahatma Gandhi assassination case. The Nehru government dared not appeal against this verdict! Had there been any chance of his conviction, it would have certainly appealed. But Nehru Govt too knew he was innocent.(14)

But after his acquittal on 10 Feb 1949 #VeerSavarkar was ordered by Nehru Government to must leave Delhi within 2 hours & not enter again for 3 months! This was intolerance and oppression of Savarkar, infringement of his rights, the day he was ACQUITTED by court! (15)

Very few people know that the Jawaharlal Nehru govt did not even return #VeerSavarkar's ancestral house that had BEEN CONFISCATED BY THE BRITISH ON CHARGE OF SEDITION! So much hatred & contempt Nehru had for Savarkar, who was a great freedom fighter, but Nehru's opponent! (16)

Such was Jawaharlal Nehru's terror in those days that Mumbai Akashwani (Radio) refused to air a review of a book on #VeerSavarkar by noted critic Madhav Manohar. So intolerant was Nehru of #VeerSavarkar (17)

On the pretext of maintaining law & order during the visit of the Pakistan PM Liaquat Ali in 1950, Jawaharlal Nehru arrested the old & frail 67-year old #VeerSavarkar on 4 April 1950 and sent him to Belgaum jail in Karnataka. Horrible atrocity on Savarkar in free India! (18)

From that Belgaum jail, #VeerSavarkar was shifted to Hindalaga jail in April 1950 during Pakistan's Liaquat Ali's visit on excuse of law-order. Nehru had kept Sheikh Abdullah in a bungalow in hill-station when Sheikh Abdullah was arrested on charge of TREASON! (19)

No wonder then that such a party will call the Crown Prince of Indian Revolutionaries, #VeerSavarkar as a traitor. He opposed Nehru & Cong. He was harassed by them right since 1910 when Nehru refused to donate. Cong Marathi organ insulted Savarkar in 2020 calling him rapist!(20)

In Andamanas where #VeerSavarkar was jailed from 1911-1921, he had (I) 6 months solitary confinement (II) 8th June 1914: 7 days standing handcuffs (III) 18th June 1914: 10 days cross bar fetters imposed (IV)16th June 1914: 4 months chain gaug imposed. This is just a sample (21)

How many Cong leaders suffered such punishments like #VeerSavarkar ? Jawaharlal Nehru was allowed to fly to Europe to see his ill wife by British in 1935, released from jail months before his term end. In jail he was given frequent visits to his wife! https://myvoice.opindia.com/2019/09/contrasts-between-savarkar-and-nehru-how-merciful-the-british-were-to-nehru-harsh-to-savarkar/ (22)

When Jawaharlal Nehru's wife was ill in Europe, British freed him months before his term-end on 4 Sept 1935, he set out by plane the next day to visit her. When in jail he was allowed parole of few visits per month to wife+wife's medical report daily sent to him in jail! (23)

But Savarkar brothers met their family only once in 10 years in Andamans & in this meeting came to know that elder bro Babarao's wife had died earlier! Watch from 2:03:00 to 2:06:00 No visit let after her death, British didn't even inform of her death!(24)
