Explain the contribution of Swatantryaveer Savarkar in the revolutionary movement
Answers
Answer:
In 1900, Swatantryaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar founded ‘Mitramela’- a secret organisation of revolutionaries in Nasik. The same organisation was renamed as ‘Abhinav Bharat’ in 1904. Savarkar went to England for higher education. From there he began sending revolutionary literature, guns etc. to the members of Abhinav Bharat in India. The Government came to know about the activities of Abhinav Bharat. Therefore, the Government arrested Babarao Savarkar. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. As a revenge to this punishment, a youth named Anant Laxman Kanhere killed Jackson, the Collector of Nashik. The Government started arresting all those people who were connected with Abhinav Bharat organisation. The murder of Jackson was linked with Swatantryaveer Savarkar by the Government, he was arrested and put under trial. The court ordered him rigorous punishment for 50 years.
