Abstract

   

 

 

Vinayak Damodar Savarkar is one of the most misunderstood people in Indian independence history. His role as a revolutionary and author of several important historical writings is widely regarded as having received insufficient appreciation in Indian history. His identity as a freedom fighter has been widely contested, owing to the several pleas he sent to British officials while imprisoned in the Andaman and Nicobar islands' cellulars jail. This paper is an attempt to discuss his role in the revolutionary movement, his sufferings as well as experiences as a political prisoner of the British regime, his persona, his daunting spirit, and his authorship of several motivational historical works for the youth of India to serve the cause of the Indian Freedom Movement to analyse and re-narrate the politics surrounding his mercy petitions.
