He is Veer Savarkar, an unparalleled patriot, freedom hero! The sacrifice made by this great freedom fighter deserves special appreciation. He not only strove to eliminate untouchability in the country but also worked tirelessly to eliminate social inequality. They are the ones who have made honesty the core of their life.
Savarkar was born on May 28, 1883 in Bhagur, Nashik District, Maharashtra. His full name is Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Father Damodar Savarkar was a great patriot, gentleman, and simple. Mother Radhe. Father-in-law Mahadeva Panthi loved Vinayaka very much as he had no children. His politeness, respect for elders, and intelligence attracted them. The heroic stories he was telling took him to another world. Shivaji's bravery and adventure had a profound effect on him. Thus, he developed an adventurous spirit in his childhood. Also, respect for the country. Vinayaka's father had four children. The first is Ganesha Rao (Baba).After Vinayaka, Mainabai and Narayana (Bala), Vinayaka was affectionately called Tatya by all. The wisdom he had. The eloquence and organizational skills used to amaze those around. He would not agree to anything immediately. He is a deep thinker. Vinayaka has immense love for his elder brother, sister, and himself, as a child they all grew up listening to Harivijaya, Pandu Pratapa, Shivalilamrita, Jaimini Ashwamedha, etc. The love of their parents, the special affection of the father-in-law, and the companionship of his brother, sister, and brother made Vinayak's tail beautiful. But do not leave the cruel fate! Vinayak lost his mother when he was nine years old. His grief was indescribable. He did not eat for three days and always cried. Days rolled by and Vinayaka's mind was brought to Tahabandi with much effort. Education continued. An adventurous personality to fight for the country started forming in him. Courage and fighting spirit were born in him. Optimism and vision were his special qualities. Savarkar, a boy, grew up and became a young man, saying that he was pure patriotism, India, and Indian culture.
From childhood, he was an original eloquent. Article writing is paramount. Be it any speech-writing competitions He is ahead. The first prize is his. While studying in college, Savarkar's articles used to inspire nationalism among the youth and inspired them to protect the motherland. Prominent among those who came under his influence was Govinda Darekar, a Rasika poet. Within a few days, he stopped writing beautiful poems and started writing revolutionary songs. He became the author of the bright patriotic and independence songs of Maharashtra.
The young Savarkar's speech was passionate but meaningful. Thus thousands of young people followed him. Savarkar chose only a few of them and built a secret organization called 'Rashtra Bhakta Samuha'. He was only seventeen then! He used to gather his friends under the pretext of celebrating national days and instilling nationalism and patriotism in them. In this case, to confident Eligible youths were identified and after meeting them individually, they were admitted to the secret organization. Savarkar used to do all these things neatly and systematically without anyone knowing. Every Saturday-Sunday these hot-blooded youngsters used to meet at one place. National thought is the subject of discussion. Some people used to make speeches on this occasion. Some people used to write articles and read them. The topic of their discussion was how to fight against the British. Most of the youth said armed revolution was the solution.
Savarkar mobilized the youth and started celebrating Shivaji Jayanti and Ganesha Utsavs with a view to instilling and invigorating nationalism among the masses. This gave new vigor to the people who had forgotten the glorious history of India. Savarkar used the occasion of the public Ganesha Utsav very shrewdly. Freedom was sparked. In the guise of a procession, he incited the people by singing patriotic songs and ballads. Savarkar succeeded in creating awareness among the people in the early 20th century.
Queen Victoria died in 1901. Then mourning was celebrated everywhere. 'Indians do not need to mourn, Savarkar emphasized that we have nothing to do with the queen. Due to this, there was an awareness among the people who were enduring the brutality of the British. Savarkar was extremely patriotic and would explode if he heard derogatory words about India. In such situations, his words were like a whip. He had an inner strength that inspired him positively about India. He had only one dream. It was to get independence for India. For that he along with two other patriotic friends named Maharska and Pagai formed a youth group called 'Mitra Mela'.
The alliance grew very quickly. The number of members increased to ten, twenty, hundred, thousand, and so on. From this, wherever you go in town, friends! Patriotism and independence were the main topics of their discussion. Unfortunately, some members actively participated in the mitramela for a few days and then wandered off. Marriage, children, and family were considered to be marriages, and Mitra Mela was completely abandoned. If asked- 'O Vinayaka, this discussion is all up to you. If there is any special work, tell me, I will definitely come,' he used to pretend. But only others sincerely attended public meetings and processions on all occasions. In the meantime, Savarkar got married in Falguna month of 1901. He was only eighteen then! The daughter's father-in-law Bhaurao Chiplunkar held a high position in Jawahar province. He was trying to spread the new wave of education in Maharashtra along with Lokmanya Balgangadhar Tilak. Even after marriage, Savarkar continued to talk about country and freedom. In addition, He wrote more and more patriotic songs and encouraged the youth. The young people started singing the song of Sinhagarh, Baji Prabhu's song, and other songs written by him with passion. Patriotic songs, dramas, etc. were frowned upon by the British. The police banned all these demonstrations. Manuscripts of songs and dialogues were seized. But the members of Mithramela were not in the least disheartened by this development: they boldly continued their struggle. Next. Within a few years, the Mitra Mela gained notoriety and its branches were established in other areas under the name 'Abhinava Bharat Society'. Its political aim was to gain freedom for the country through struggle.
