Today is the memorable or remembrance day of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.
He complete his life journey and passed away to Heaven on 26th February 1966 but this is the ill-fate that till today no one is knowing about 
him. So, this article is a tribute to him. Really he was a great Hindu Leader who worked for the upliftment of Hindus and Organized “Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha.” I prays his works.
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar was one of the most dynamic, outspoken and revolutionary leaders of the freedom struggle. Born on May 28, 1883 into a family of ‘jagirdars ‘(landlords) in the village of Bhagpur near Nasik. Vinayak was one of four children. His elder brother Ganesh (Babarao) was to have a strong influence in his life.
The British government arrested Savarkar in London on 13 March 1910 on some fabricated charges and he was sent to India for trial. However as the ship in which he was being taken neared Marseilles in France, Savarkar escaped and swam to the port. According to the plan his friends were to be there beforehand, but they reached late and he was caught by the French Police.
Savarkar was declared guilty and was sentenced to 50 years of ‘Kala Paani’ in Andaman on 24 December 1910. Life for the prisoners was very harsh and the conditions inhuman. Since 4 July 1911, he was Cellular Jail in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands solitude. Savarkar withdrew within himself, quietly and mechanically doing the tasks presented to him. He was successful in getting permission to start a jail library. With great effort and patience he taught the illiterate convicts to read and write. In 1920, Vithalbhai Patel demanded the release of the Savarkar brothers in the Central Legislative Assembly. Tilak and Gandhi also appealed for the release of Savarkar. On May 2, 1921, Savarkar was brought back to India.
