2.1.3 Importance of English_
Savarkar was released from internment in 1937. He was elected. President
of Maharashtra Literary Conference and. speaking in that capacity on 15th April
1938 he said, "There is intense hatred, and dismal ignorance about the
Marathas among European Historians and non-Maharashtrians I therefore sincerely hope that Mr. Sardesai
would undertake the vital task of writing in English, the History of Marathas.
(This Mr. Sardesai achieved in 1946)
------ There are superb works in
Marathi on various subjects but they will not be given due recognition unless
translated in English. Once Sanskrit and Pali were World languages. Now English
has taken their place. It is therefore essential that all Maharashtrians should
come together and ensure that every year some important works are translated
from Marathi into English......."
Nearly fifty years have now passed. What progress has been made? NONE. Savarkar's
entire works (lectures, articles, poems, letters etc.) were published by Hindu
Mahasabha in 1965. But publishing it in English? Good heavens, No. Admitted, it
would be a costly undertaking but what about Savarkar’s letters from
Maharashtra State Government had set up a committee under the
Chairmanship of Laxmanshastri Joshi, a learned Scholar in around 1964.(
What a state of affairs.
3. How History gets falsified even today
During the Savarkar centenary year (1983-84) a well wisher from
(1) Savarkar's biography of Mazzini was not banned before publication. The first
edition was sold out like a hot cake. The book was proscribed before second
edition could be published.
(2) The author states on page 3 " His (Savarkar's) health eventually
deteriorated and the Government was compelled to transfer him to Indian prisons
in 1921." This is utterly false. In Andaman no medical aid was ever given
to political prisoners. British Authorities were absolutely callous in this
respect. Savarkar's elder brother Babarao suffered terribly. Savarkar brothers
were sent back to mainland
(3) on page 1 the author says "..... In 1898 his inspirer and the
noted revolutionary Chaphekar was hanged. This enraged young Vinayak who took a
vow to struggle for freedom....." Facts are different. During the plague outbreak

The concept of origin of Aryans in central
Yet another mischief was played by Christian Missionaries. They declared
that Aryans and. Dravidians were racially separate and that Dravidian languages
were a distinct group. The perpetrators were Father Belchi, Rev. G.V.Pope, Father
Henry Heras and others. Let us think a little. Throughout the Vedas the word
Arya does not signify a caste or group (jati)
not even once. The famous Hindu Deities are Ram and
If Aryans came to India from Central Asia they would first describe
Kubha (Kabul) river, followed by Sindhu, Chinab, Sutlaj, Ravi, Beas, Saraswati,
Yamuna, and lastly Ganges. But in the Vedic literature the sequence is exactly opposite.

It is nonsense to say that these civilisations were destroyed by
invading Aryans.. Rig-Veda contains details of Dashradnya War.

I do not think that any Greek Historians say that Porus was defeated by Alexander.
We only read what has been written in English. After all how many of us have
studied Greek? We don't have first hand knowledge of what has been written in
Greek Language.
There are some coins with one King on Elephant. (Said to be Porus) and
another King on Horse (said to be Alexander). The funny thing is that NOT one such
coin has been found in

details of defeats of Muslims. Even Nehru admits disastrous defeat and flight
of Mahmud of Gazni after his last attack on Sorti Somnath. See Discovery of

5.1.1 Bigotry
At the bottom of the first page we find - "........ to the honour
of that great GOD, and. the good of his church, through Jesus Christ our
Lord and ONLY SAVIOUR."
(Last Line)
We have no objection to someone calling Jesus Christ as their Lord. But
to say that he is the ONLY SAVIOUR breeds bigotry.
5.1.2 Adam, not the first man / Eve, not the first woman.

LORD GOD caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one

And the rib, which the LORD GOD had taken from man, made he a woman,

The Story of the Red
Gandhi was killed by Nathuram Godse on 30th January 1948. Ever since the
full story of the events leading to this fateful event and. subsequent trial
has never been told. Government of
Inamdar was a lawyer and a staunch follower of Gandhi. Dr. Parchure was
a powerful Hindu Mahasabha leader of the same town,
Mrs. Parchure approached Mr Inamdar for help. He decided to take the case.
He
successfully acquired the acquittal of Dr. Parchure. As the case
proceeded he came across Nathuram Godse and others and. towards the end he
became a thoroughly changed man. He confesses that tears rolled down his cheeks
as he said good bye
to Nathuram. He says towards the end " .. court of law as well
as penal code DID EXIST TO ADJUDICATE UPON Nathuram's deed. But there was no
such court nor a law to adjudicate what Gandhi had done.....''
A compulsive reading indeed.
7. Some important notes relating to Gandhi Murder Trial.
1. There was a gun cotton slab explosion at Birla house where Gandhi
used
to hold prayer meetings, on 20th January 1948. The purpose was to draw Gandhiji's
attention to the plight of the refugees who were being weeded out from visitors
to Birla House. The explosion would not have harmed anybody. But the Congress
controlled newspapers used it as a publicity stunt just as they used Gandhiji's
deceptive fast during 1942.
2. Gandhi was shot dead by Nathuram Godse on 30th January 1948. There
was no
reason to announce his name on radio immediately. As a result there were
horrific attacks on Brahmins in
3. Witnesses claim to have seen smoke coming from Nathuram's pistol. But
no smoke could have come out of it.
4 Marks on Gandhi's body did not match with the marks that could have have
been made by Nathuram's pistol. But Nathuram had decided to he a. martyr and
refused to allow his attorney to cross-examine Colonel Taneja of
5. Retrospective legislation is abhorred by lawyers all over the world
even in
6 Congress leaders had always detested special courts set up by the
British (especially during the Second World War). But they had not slightest
hesitation in setting up a special court for this trial. The provisions were
nasty - There was NO JURY, time for appeal was extremely limited (15 days
instead of normal 60 days) the sentence for even attempted murder was death or
transportation for life.
7. In legal terms there is quite a difference between aiding and abating
a murder and conspiracy to murder. The penalties for latter are far more
severe than for former. It is also very much easier to secure conviction for
conspiracy. Nehru, Patel & co. wanted to implicate Veer Savarkar, hence
Patel’s official order to carry out police investigation for a
conspiracy.
8. Though Morarji Desai (then Home Minister of Bombay) had kept Savarkar
under police surveillance he did not rush police reinforcement to protect him
when mob frenzy broke out against Brahmins in Maharashtrs- on 31st January 1948.
Not only that his bodyguard Appa Kasar was
arrested and removed to Police custody. Morarji Desai deliberately left
Savarkar at the mercy of the lynching mob. But Balarao Savarkar, Bhaskar Shinde
and Tendulkar stood in the doorway armed only with sticks and ward off the
attackers. But they could not save Narayanro younger brother of Veer Savarkar.
He was severely beaten, never recovered and died on 19th October 1949.
9. Savarkar then aged 64 was bed-ridden for past 1 year. He was arrested
on 5th Feb 1948 under Bombay Public Security Measure act. He was not
allowed to see even his wife and only son till 23 March 1948 i.e. 46 days. What
great humanitarians were the followers of Gandhi !!
10. Judgement of the special court was delivered on 10th Feb 1949.
Savarkar was acquitted. But Nehru Patel & co would not tolerate any public
celebrations. That was not the sort of truth they wanted. So Delhi Magistrate
served an order prohibiting him from leaving the Delhi Red Fort area. A few
hours later by another order under Punjab Public Security Measures act, Savarkar
was externed and was prohibited from entering the
11. Dr. Parchure favoured no better. He was acquitted by the appeal
court on
21st June 1949. But immediately afterwards Nehru, Patel & co.
promptly served an order of detention under the Public Safety Ordinance, at the
main gate of the Ambala Central Jail. With that order Dr.Parchure was brought
to
12. Nathuram never denied, killing Gandhi. He also never pleaded for
clemency. He simply wanted to meet his parents before going to Gallows. His
last request was that as his parents were too old to travel to Simla he should
be sent to
13 Gopal Godse, the brother of Nathuram Godse tells us that at some time
later
(c 1953 ) the Supreme Court of
India ruled that even the special court set up for Gandhi Murder Trial, was
illegal but refused to declare its verdict as null and void. He however gives
no references.
14. Full story of the court case was never made public, under various
emergency
regulations, press acts and physical reprisals, nothing was reported in
the press except what Nehru, Patel & co approved. They of course had the
control of Radio. As soon as Nathuram Godse read his testimony on 10th Dec 1948
its publication was banned by Patel. And the ban remained in force until 1977
(i.e. for 30 years) Congressites never wanted the truth to come out. The court
case we are told was even excluded from Indian Law reports. Under the shadow of
death Apte wrote an essay on Public Administration. Government of
15. Press News Agency (of Government of India) had. prepared a short
Documentary film on the accused. It was being shown in the cinemas; when the
trial was in progress. But to utter dismay of Nehru, Patel & co, people
instead denouncing Nathuram Godse and others actually praised them. They of course
prohibited further showing of that documentary film.
16. During the trial, Patel visited
17. After the verdict of special court there was discussion about
whether Godse and Apte should be hanged, published in various Indian
Newspapers. Most of the letter to the editors expressed the opinion that the
two should not be hanged. And once again Patel prohibited publication of all
such letters.
18. There are set rules for identification of suspected persons. Such a
person is normally mixed with people of similar heights, built up and appearance.
The witness is then asked to identify the suspected person from among the
group. The witness does not see the accused till the day of the trial. But this
was flagrantly set aside in Gandhi Murder trial.
A visual training camp was opened in the new C.I.D. Head-quarters, at
Worli Bombay. Not only were the accused kept in that building but also the
articles of proof were stored in the custody of the Police in this building and
not in the custody of the judicial authority. The identifying witnesses were
taken in groups from
The accused were regularly photographed in police custody, at a stage and
for reasons not permissible in the procedure for identification. The accused
were filmed and photographed in the Red Fort courtroom itself on 27 May 1948
when the trial opened. The film and photographs were given the widest possible
publicity all over
The witnesses were offered free trips to
All this is abhorrent to due process of Law. But all English Authors
keep quiet about it.
19. The whole case for Prosecution was based on hearsay and confessions
under torture/ inducements to witnesses. But for placing explicit faith in
Government witnesses the special Judge Mr Atma Charan was awarded by Nehru,
Patel and co. He was appointed Judicial Commissioner for Ajmer-Merwara region
even before the conclusion of trial. He sent every accused, except Savarkar, to
transportation for life.
20. As for inducement we can quote the case of Magistrate R.B.Atal of
Gwalior. He had not been given increments in pay for last 10 years by Gwalior
Durbar. But after extracting confession from Dr. Parchure, he was grafted an. Increment
of Rs.100 p.m. (at 1948 prices)
