First by the British and then after independence by Indian politicians and yet who doesn't give up, keeps fighting by hook or by crook, keeps inspiring and influencing revolutionaries, keeps being relevant decades after he's gone.
"He added, "One soaks in the energy of this place, where sacrifices and courage were rewarded with Kaala Paani and omission from glory, where the seeds of India's first secret society were planted by the brothers with the last name ...Savarkar Vande Mataram!"
"P.S: Felt humbled and travelled back in time. They have sold over a lakh books since the movie was released.
More people should come and visit the #VeerSavarkar smarak at Shivaji chowk Bhagur, Nashik," he concluded.
