Veer Savarkar

Vinayak Damdor Savarkar popularly

Known as Veer Savarkar because

Of his brave acts, great sacrifice in

The freedom struggle movement

Being the barrister could live lavish

Life, instead of as a born patriot

And revolutionary had plunged into

The extremist wing of freedom fighters

As a result of which was convicted

In two cases, magistrate Jackson murder

And committing revolt against British rule

Enforced double life imprisonment sentences

Rigorous punishment of pulling Kolu

Like the bull, worst environment, bad food,

Torturous treatment along with elder

Brother Ganesh and other criminals,

In the infamous Andaman Jail

Nicknamed Kala Pani, miserable life

His striving hard, longing to return,

Advised by Mahatma Gandhi made him

Apply for mercy petition, wasn’t

Wrong at all, as the same strategy

Was implemented by his inspirer

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj at

The time of the great escape from Agra Fort

Was released, conditional house arrest in

Ratnagiri, confined to writing books, social work

Sawarkar was the most fortunate

A freedom fighter to witness the independence

However, unfortunately, held in

The Mahatma Gandhi assassination

Though thoroughly acquitted of all

The charges were looked down by

A small section of society remembered as

The symbol of patriotism and sacrifice +2H
