It's almost as if this chef d'oeuvre was waiting to be called forth into being by decades after decades of a deafening and eerie non-existence of a solid, well-researched biographical thesis on Savarkar. This book is one sure shot, go-to destination as well as source to have the most complete biographical experience IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. It serves right as a powerful standalone thesis atleast in the sphere of English book readership, as a bulwark against the most diabolical mud-slinging campaigns running amok with impunity on just about any academic, media or social media platforms. By choosing to write on Savarkar, Dr. Sampath has done a favour as it were, on history, on sense and on humanity as a whole. A MUST-HAVE in your shelves and minds ! I hope the next part which is in the offing, will stay true to the same objectives and achievements of this book.
