Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, commonly known as Veer Savarkar, was a prominent figure in Indian politics and continues to be a subject of discussion for several reasons. His birth anniversary is a significant occasion for those who admire his contributions and ideas. Here are some reasons why Savarkar remains a subject in Indian politics:

Hindutva ideology: Savarkar was one of the early proponents of Hindutva, an ideology that emphasizes the cultural and national identity of Hindus in India. Hindutva advocates assert that India is the homeland of Hindus, and the Hindu culture and way of life should be the foundation of the Indian nation. This ideology has influenced and shaped several right-wing political parties in India, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
