Abstract

Savarkar released a number of works about Hindutva in the year 1922.  The ideologies of Hindutva and Hinduism are often mixed up in our minds. Many of us believe that Savarkar coined the word Hindutva in order to spread and encourage the practice of Hinduism. This Paper tries to bring out the Savarkar’s real view on Hindutva. Essentials of Hindutva, 1923, the book he was working on at the time was written here. Because much of Savarkar’s work has been deleted from public areas, this book is often used, and most of the time it is misquoted, to create the idea of violent Hindutva. This myth blames Savarkar and the Hindu religion for a fanaticism that does not exist. This paper will attempt to demonstrate why Veer Savarkar’s philosophy of Hindutva is still relevant in today’s society and this paper also tries to elaborate on and understand his views on Hindutva.
