Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid homage to Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar on his death anniversary on Monday. The Prime Minister, acknowledging Savarkar's steadfast commitment to the nation's freedom and integrity, remarked that he will be eternally remembered by the citizens of the country. 

 

Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, widely acknowledged as Swatantryaveer Savarkar, was a prominent freedom fighter, Indian independence activist, and politician credited with formulating the Hindu nationalist ideology known as Hindutva.

 

A foremost proponent of the Hindutva ideology, Savarkar was born in 1883 in Maharashtra and died in 1966.  

 

Writing in a post on X, PM Modi said, "Tributes to Veer Savarkar on his Punya Tithi. India will forever remember his valiant spirit and unwavering dedication to our nation's freedom and integrity. His contributions inspire us to strive for the development and prosperity of our country."

 

The ideals of Savarkar, a leading Hindu Mahasabha leader, have been an inspiration for the Bharatiya Janata Party.
