About this ebook
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, byname Vir or Veer, (born May 28, 1883, Bhagur, India—died Feb. 26, 1966, Bombay [now Mumbai]), Hindu and Indian nationalist and leading figure in the Hindu Mahasabha ("Great Society of Hindus"), a Hindu nationalist organization and political party. Savarkar's political philosophy was quite unique as it had elements of various ethical, theological, and philosophical theories. In other words, his political philosophy was basically a mixture of humanism, rationalism, universalism, positivism, utilitarianism, and realism. He also acted against some of India's social evils, such as caste discrimination and untouchability that were prevalent during his time. Just before his death, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar wrote an article called 'Atmahatya Nahi Atmaarpan.' The article gave an insight on fast until death (atmaarpan) and stated that one should be allowed to end his or her life when one's main objective of life is achieved. On February 1, 1966, Savarkar declared that he would observe fast until death and refused to eat. On February 26, 1966, he breathed his last at his Bombay residence. His home and other possessions are now preserved for public display.
