. He was released in 1924 by the British officials after he wrote a series of mercy petitions to the British.[11] He virtually stopped any criticism of the British regime after he was released from jail.[this line is not correct.
Add the term 'Freedom Fighter' for Swatantryaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar[edit]
It seems someone who edited this page has a problem with Veer Savarkar. A freedom fighter is not allowed to be recognized as a freedom fighter, and a special condition is put to prevent others from doing so. Add the adjective 'Freedom Fighter', as well as 'Social Reformer'. Please demand if any evidences or citations required, I will present them accordingly.

The first line of the article reads,"Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (pronunciationⓘ, Marathi pronunciation: [ʋinaːjək saːʋəɾkəɾ]; 28 May 1883 – 26 February 1966) was an Indian politician, activist and writer".How should a casual reader intrepret what being an "activist" means when it comes to Savarkar? Obviously the correct answer is independance activist.Afterall, he spent thirty-six years of his life at different levels of confinement for the cause of independance.Some people may not approve of his methods to achievement independance using violence earlier in his life, or his later Hindutva views but that should not stop us from treating him as an independance activist.As a child I only remember him being called Swatantra-veer Savarkar (translation, Savarkar, hero of independance).Anyhow, I look forward to comments by experienced fellow editors.Thanks.

He was a student activist in Pune and London prior to being incarcerated from 1908 to 1937 in the cause of Indian freedom. He may have advocated terrorism to achieve that goal earlier in his life or been sectarian later in his life but he was a freedom fighter for indian independence nonetheless. I have heard of people getting pensions or free housing for just serving a few months in jail for taking part in the freedom struggle.Thanks.Jonathansammy (talk) 17:25, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
