	Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and Madhavrao Sadashiv Golwalkar
		Although Golwalkar was exonerated by a commission of inquiry and Savarkar acquitted by the court of actual involvement in the conspiracy, Hindu nationalism has had to live with the stigma of its two leading stalwarts being implicated in the Mahatma's murder.
		Golwalkar was a missionary, Savarkar was a visionary.
		To Savarkar, Hindutva was akin to a national ideology of all those who regarded India as its pitribhumi (fatherland) and punyabhumi (holy land).

		Savarkar was the foremost Indian leader to welcome the machine age and he undertood that economic equality is the inevitable outcome of the machine age.
		Savarkar was dubbed a communalist because he said that the principle of one man one vote should be followed (then opposed to by Muslim leadership) and because he opposed Muslim Mauliavis and Christian Missionaries trying to convert illiterate, ignorant and poor Hindus.

	The Hindu : Savarkar — a reassessment
		Today Savarkar's portrait finds a place in Parliament, amongst those of a constellation of freedom fighters and nationalists, including Mahatma Gandhi, whose ideals Savarkar bitterly and openly opposed, and in whose assassination it is still believed he was involved.
		What emerges is a damning indictment of Savarkar and the practical import of his ideology and personal code of conduct during the period of the freedom struggle.
		Savarkar was the instigative force behind the murder in London in 1909 of William Curzon Wylie by Madanlal Dhingra, as he was of the assassination of A.M.T Jackson, the District Magistrate and Collector of Nasik District in the same year.

		Likewise, Savarkar’s plea for caste intermarriage to promote the oneness of Hindu society is usually ignored in order to keep up the pretence that he was a reactionary on caste, an “upper-caste racist” (as Gyan Pandey puts it), and what not.
		Savarkar’s was an eminently reasonable interpretation of the Aryan invasion theory, viz.
		Savarkar did not think that Hindus or anyone for that matter would lose their entitledness to membership of the nation just because some (or even all) of their ancestors had immigrated four thousand years ago.

	Savarkar and Hindutva - Message Board - ezboard.com
		A perplexing feature of Savarkar was that he shifted from a commitment to a composite national culture in which different communities would play equal parts (his early aspiration was to form an United States of India) to communal nationalism (a description that is justified by Savarkar's recommendation that Hindus must be `communal' in their nationalism).
		Briefly put, the common sense about Savarkar (with which Hindutva propagandists continually thump their chests) is one that says he was a brave and heroic revolutionary terrorist, who made a daring escape from a ship and later underwent immense hardship in the Andamans before his release.
		Savarkar refers to this in his 1913 petition (which is still preserved) where he applauds the British by acclaiming that "the Mighty alone can afford to be merciful" and tells them that he was a "prodigal son" presumably waiting to be swept back into the arms of the colonial bureaucracy.

		Savarkar does have the 'honor' of brewing Brahminical Hinduism with nationalism, and he was the first exponent of the doctrine of Hindutva.
		Savarkar's initial anti-British struggles were very impressive but after assuming the role of the proponent of Hindutva his major energies were channelised in strengthening the politics of hate, formation of communal Hindu Mahasabha and helping RSS from distance.
		Savarkar himself was the co-accused in Gandhi murder, but was let off as Godse took the whole responsibility of this murder totally on his own self.

		Savarkar imbibed the worst of Western political and social traditions, and his warped ideas about race superiority, the survival of the fittest, and the nation as a “blood entity”, so to speak, were derived from the most objectionable strands of Western thinking.

		In the circumstances, placing a plaque with a Savarkar quote at the Cellular Jail in Andaman is an insult to all those martyrs who refused to bend before the British and suffered prolonged torture at their hands.
		There were other compatriots of Savarkar who were languishing in Andaman jail who could have compromised their ideals to save their lives.

		It is in contrast to the narrow-based, exclusivist national politics of Savarkar and the Hindutva brigade.

		It may be true that Savarkar personally was an atheist and that he refused religious rituals for his departed soul, but that doesn’t put him outside the tradition of Hindu spirituality, which has room for many different philosophies.

		Savarkar began describing a "Hindu" as a patriotic inhabitant of Bharatavarsha, venturing beyond a religious identity.
		While often stressing social and community unity between Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains, Savarkar's notions of loyalty to the fatherland are seen as an implicit criticism of Muslims and Christians, who regard Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem as their holiest places.
		Savarkar openly assailed what he saw as Muslim political separatism, arguing that the loyalty of many Muslims was conflicted.

		Savarkar rejected the inclusive, secular concept of territorial nationalism and advocated the exclusivist, communal concept of cultural nationalism.
		And most damagingly, as the book demonstrates in great detail, it was Savarkar who led the conspiracy to assassinate Mahatma Gandhi on that fateful winter evening of 1948.
