The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar
- Oh, Motherland, sacrifice for you is like life; living without you is death.
- We yield to none in our love, admiration, and respect for the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. They are all ours. Their glories are ours, and ours are their failures.
- Calmness in preparation but boldness in execution—this should be the watchword during moments of crisis.
- One country, one God, one caste, one mind, brothers, all of us without difference, without doubt.
- The practice of untouchability is a sin, a blot on humanity, and nothing can justify it. Consider only that which is untouchable and injurious to one’s health, not fellow human beings. Unshackling this one foolish fetter would bring crores of our Hindu brethren into the mainstream. They would serve the country in various capacities and defend her honour.
- Every person is a Hindu who regards and owns this Bharat Bhumi, this land from the Indus to the seas, as his fatherland as well as holy land, i.e., the land of the origin of his religion. Consequently, the so-called aboriginal or hill tribes are also Hindus because India is their fatherland as well as their holyland for whatever form of religion or worship they follow.
- After all, there is throughout this world, so far as man is concerned, but a single race—the human race—kept alive by one common blood, the human blood. All other talk is at best provisional, makeshift, and only relatively true. Nature is constantly trying to overthrow the artificial barriers you raise between races. To try to prevent the commingling of blood is to build on sand.
- Truly speaking, all that any one of us can claim, all that history entitles one to claim, is that one has the blood of all mankind in one’s veins. The fundamental unity of man from pole to pole is true; all else is relatively so.
- Untouchability is the curse that has shadowed and darkened the history of our nation. Rightly so, nothing can justify the practice of untouchability.
- After all, there is throughout this world, so far as man is concerned, a single race kept alive by common blood, the human blood. All other talk is best provisional, a makeshift, and only relatively true.
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (1883–1966) was an influential Indian freedom fighter, politician, and writer known for his staunch advocacy of Hindu nationalism. Born in Bhagur, Maharashtra, he pursued law in London, where he became involved in revolutionary activities against British rule.
Savarkar was a founding member of the Abhinav Bharat Society, which aimed at liberating India through armed struggle. Arrested in 1909 for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy to assassinate a British official, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and transported to the Cellular Jail in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
While imprisoned, Savarkar penned the seminal work “The First War of Indian Independence,” which reinterpreted the 1857 revolt. Upon release, he continued his political journey, becoming a prominent leader of the Hindu Mahasabha, advocating for Hindu unity and cultural revival. His ideology of Hindutva significantly shaped Indian political discourse, and he remains a controversial yet pivotal figure in India’s independence movement and political history.
