![[attachments/Savarkar-and-the-Making-of-Hindutva.jpg|height=240]] ## Review A view of Savarkar through relatively under-analysed Marathi body of work on him and by him. Seems to bring into English scholarship a critique that is embedded within an understanding of him that was prevalent then and is possibly prevalent now within the conservative Savarna Hindu thinking. That said, I find the writing style too repetitive across chapters and the book a bit tedious to follow - possibly due to its academic history grounding. An essential reading though before engaging in b&w positioning on Savarkar as represented in social media debates. ## Reading status - Status: Read - My rating: 3 ⭐⭐⭐ - Date started / added: 2024/04/12 - Date finished: 2024/05/03 ## Metadata - Author: Janaki Bakhle - Year: — - ISBN13: ="9780691250366" - Shelves (Goodreads): —
