Birthday Special: Revolutionary Ganesh Damodar Savarkar, Freedom Fighter whose name became anonymous

New -delhi, June 12 (IANS). There is an unopposed and untouched chapter of Indian history from the date of June 13. On the same day, in the year 1879, a revolution was born in a Brahmin family in the Bhagpur village near the Nashik district of Maharashtra, who dedicated his life to the independence of the country, but the anonymous remain like a shadow. This name was Ganesh Damodar Savarkar, who also knows people named Babbarao Savarkar. Each time talking about freedom struggle, the name of Veer Savarkar is taken prominently. Very few people know his older brother who played an important role in establishing the Rashtriya Swayamse subject Sangh (RSS), along with the dedication of his life to the country. Babrao Savarkar is considered one of the five founders of the RSS, but his contribution did not give the place he deserved. Ganesh Damodar Savarkar’s childhood was difficult. First, the mother’s death and then the father’s shadow in the pest epidemic also rose from the head. At the time, Babrao was just 20 years old and the responsibility of two younger brothers, Vinayak (feather Savarkar), Narayan and a sister, came to his shoulders in the house. He achieved studies, but had to abandon his education due to family responsibilities. Baravo, interested in religion, yoga and hymn, was not just a sage trend, there was also a revolution. In 1904 he founded the Abhinav Bharat Society, it was an organization that laid the foundation of armed fight against British rule in India. This organization later became the most important platform of revolutionaries in the freedom struggle. In 1909, the British arrested Babarao and prosecuted for high treason. He was sentenced to black water and held for 20 years in Andaman’s cellular prison. His passion did not break even during these hard criminal years. In 1921 he was brought from Andaman to the Sabarmati Jail in Gujarat, where he remained closed for a year. Later, the British government released him, but he did not give up the freedom struggle. Babarao was not only revolutionary, but also a better writer. He wrote a book called ‘India Edge a Nation’ in which India was presented as an independent nation. The British government passed this distress and the book was banned. After his release from prison, Babarao was in contact with Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgar. This was the time when the exposition of the Rashtriya Swayamse subject Sangh (RSS) was prepared. Babarao expressed deep confidence in this ideology and addressed the organization as founding members. -Ians PSK/GKT shares this story tags
