Sampath wrote a biography based on what Savarkar had to say about himself

The Samajwadi Party’s red caps are painted in the blood of victims of Muzaffarnagar riots and 'karsewaks' shot dead in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said.
Five terrorists belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) outfits, including a self-styled commander, were killed in two separate overnight encounters with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir.
On Gandhiji's martyrdom day today, let us remember that he stood for Truth, Non-violence, communal harmony and Stood for the last man. Never forget who killed him and the poisonous ideology of that man.
I am discussing with Mohandas TG on Gandhiji Assassination: Unanswered Questions? you can watch it live here
#MahatmaGandhi was murdered by the very forces that still slaughter people in the name of religion. They are the biggest threat to our country today. Gandhiji's memory is more relevant now than ever before. This #Martyrs'Day, let's pledge to fight communalism, promote fraternity.
When this time passes (and it will) we should also hold Indian Media (exceptions kept aside) responsible for gas lighting, whitewashing and abetting the violence in thought, feeling and action that has been normalised in our midst. #Gandhi #GandhiJayanti
If you portray Gandhiji's murderer as hero, it's not acceptable.Our country is known through Gandhi & his ideology.He's celebrated worldwide.Congress will oppose it; will request CM not to allow this movie's release in Maharashtra: Nana Patole, Cong, on 'Why I killed Gandhi'movie

On this Date, 30th January, Independent India's 1st Terrorist Organisation managed to assassinate Mahatma Gandhi and then disowned the assassin. The same Evil still Lives amongst us today
An unusual 5 day conclave took place at Sevagram in March 1948. It was to be held in the Mahatma's presence. Instead, it happened in his absence. There is a verbatim account of the conversation. Vinoba Bhave, Gandhi’s spiritual heir, was devastating in his criticism of the RSS.

Replying to
Dhirendra's compelling biography of Godse busts the old myth that Godse had left the RSS by the time he killed Gandhi. New material shows that he was with the Sangh till the very end. Full interview on :
If you ever feel worthless, remember there’s this Sampath dude who wrote a biography of Savarkar in 2 volumes of a thousand pages each based entirely on what Savarkar had to say about himself.
Replying to
A friend pointed out multiple instances where he uses footnotes to self-cite ideas.

And then Rajnath comes and claims that Gandhiji asked him to write the mercy petitions

Replying to
This was a near re-run of what had happened in 1946-47. While it was Netaji and his INA that had taken the colonial rulers head on, when it came to reaping the harvest, Gandhi bhakts queued up first and succeeded. 2/n
Yet Savarkar covered his tracks well, and after leaving prison made it a habit to be careful and stay in the shadows, while leaving no footprints. No wonder he was the only accused in the trial after Gandhiji's murder who was found not guilty – for insufficient evidence. (8/18)
Of late there's been a white-washing of Savarkar's story. Besides the current top political leadership's staged homage to him, biographies have been published that, though glossy, lack in any scholarship besides a regurgitation of Savarkar's own writings about himself. (9/18)
This day in 1948, India witnessed its first terror attack when a terrorist belonging to a terror organization killed Mahatma Gandhi. They might have killed him in flesh, however Gandhi as an idea continues to live on. #GandhiForever
If we say Indira Gandhi was killed by Sikh militants, and Rajiv Gandhi was killed by Tamil Militants, why don't we say Mahatma Gandhi was killed by Hindu Militants? #MahatmaGandhi #MartyrsDay

Ten years on Twitter, yet it's difficult to decipher who the trads are and how the tards are different from them. Let's start with Raja Ram Mohan Roy and I think both factions are opposed to him except of course KG for obvious reasons. HM (Kolkata) might be willing to support too.
Honesty and courage to appreciate the good qualities of adversaries and acknowledge their positive contributions is a sign of civility, humility, and sagacity. Critical appraisal in the true academic spirit also aspires for the same. Selective amnesia doesn't behove a good umpire.
