Veer Savarkar
Veer Savarkar was a prominent Indian independence activist, lawyer, politician, poet, and playwright known for his role in the early 20th-century nationalist movement. He is often regarded as a key figure in the Hindutva ideology and is celebrated for his writings that inspired many in the struggle against British colonial rule. Notably, Savarkar attempted to escape from British custody in Marseille in 1910, an event that highlighted the complexities of colonial legal frameworks and international diplomacy. He was later sentenced to life imprisonment in Cellular Jail, where he continued to influence the independence movement through his work.
