Vikram truly comes out as a scholar in spite of Vir Sanghvi. Kudos to him to meet all type of media guys including
“ Radia “ gang.
I agree with the “in spite of” part! Sanghvi needlessly tries to pin Sampath down into simplistic positions that aren’t Sampath’s. And accuses him of weaseling out of them if he refuses to accept them!
Unfortunately, we’re stuck with blaming Savarkar for the communalist version of Hindutva that RSS has projected - when there were few leaders more liberal and intellectually as comprehensive as Savarkar.
And we’re also stuck with the Left branding Sampath as a Rightist stooge for not going along with a simplistic portrayal of Savarkar.
@@RaneForrest Precisely the reason I used “ in spite of” . Trying to pin him down to generalisations of the Lutyens’.
Vir Sanghvi is known Woke & Liberal who wants to sip his single malt in the evening & blame all the ills in india onto right wing Parties/ thinkers. He is known congress stooge & in this world of social media stands totally xposed
Out of the 100 things which Vikram told about Savarkar, Sanghvi chose one minutia as headline which can be used to undercut BJP's Hindutva ideology. Clearly shows how "apolitical" he is as a journalist
He chose what is good for his organisation, what sort of a headline will provoke fools to comment in the video and watch it, it clearly is working , you for sure can't deny

If Vikram Sampat has told clearly that "Savarkar was greater than Gandhi" or "Impact of Savarkar was more than Gandhi" then it would have been the headline.

Savarkar's 12 years of brutal torture, physical labor and solitary confinement at Kaala Paani alone make him bigger than Gandhi or Nehru before even considering various other contributions.
Nice sanghi propaganda 🤣🤣🤣
Let's not forget it was Gandhi who had steadfastly fought for the independence of India and not Sorryvarkar who was keen to portray himself as a loyal and faithful servant of the British crown.
It's pure propaganda to portray Sorryvarkar as having contributed anything meaningful to the independence of India from colonial rule.

Key difference between Gandhi and Sawarkar was, Tacit support from Bitish government. British kept one man free with a telephone, Car, Doctor, and other support. British kept another man in Jail for that very 25 years. To compare the achievements of a man in Jail with a free man is incongruous.

Of all the choices for the title for the video, you chose what Savarkar thought about cow worship? This is what is called Hinduphobia. Clearly you made a deliberate choice. I have no intent of watching after you chose such a title. I am a Nastik yet I find your choice of this title offensive. You would not dare post an interview with Sampath on Ambedkar’s views on Islam and chose a title offensive to Muslims. Yet somehow you think such titles are fair game when it comes to Hindus. Even worse is that you perhaps chose to ask Sampath what Savarkars views on cow worship was. This was done with a premeditated intent to post it under the chosen title. In short disgusting.
Yes truly despicable
Nastik means who doesn't believe in Vedas.
In India we hardly see people following Vedas.

Veer Savarkar is India's most misunderstood nationalist. A real hero at par with Netaji and Patel.
People who hate Savarkar hate Netaji or Patel also in general...
Netaji was no admirer of the fascist Hindutva ideology of that Shameless Shoe-licker Savarkar
Netaji was no fan of fascist Hindutva ideology
At per with netaji???!! 😂😂😂😂
@@SuperRAJORSHIYes, probably a lot more relevant and important to current times than Netaji.
No one except conspiracy theorists really cares about Bose. Savarkar 's ideology is the dominant idea that is ruling the country now and is most relevant
Anyone with half a brain, and the privilege and honesty to learn about both Savarkar and Gandhi would know that the former was far ahead in mental capacity and courage than the latter. The fact that this is still not known or accepted is the reason we are where we are after more than 75 years after the British left.
What was the broad idea of Savarkar, can you explain me? What was his vision which contributed to the modern world?
Gandhiji gave the world a new idea, resolve complex issues through non violent means. His ideas inspired Mandela, Martin Luthar king etc. In a world, where people were killed for the fun of it, Gandhiji stood for humanity. Yes, he was flawed in a lot of ways, but his basic ideas inspired and galvanised millions.
@@sandeepshah105 Saavarkar's Goal had always been to Unite India under One Culture, One Nation. If this had succeeded, Any Opposition Movements like creation of Pakistan and Bangladesh would have been crushed and India would have included all of South Asian Nations combined, All Communities living in harmony.
Gndhi was a Failure throughout his life (No offense). When an Indian Journalist asked British Prime Minister Clemente Atlee, I quote the exact words - "What amoutn of Influence did Gandhi have on British leaving India ?", He is said to have answered one word - 'Minimal".
So it was clear, British were panicking and fearful of Veer Saavarkar, Whoser Poetry inspired the Sepoy Mutiny in 1946, Where Indian Naval Soldiers chanted his Poems and started butchering their own British Naval Officers, Demanding Freedom. Another reason ws S.C Bose and his proximity to Imperial Japan and Soviet Union. So, British made use of a Tool called "Gandhi" to leave India gracefully, While leaving behind their Supports (Indian National Congress) to rule over us.
@@sandeepshah105 And none of his ideas are relevant. Man wanted the varna system to continue. Man wanted anarchical village republics with no industrialization. Even Nehru was better than Gandhi who was an impractical moral preacher. He wanted satyagraha and civil disobedience even in democratic nations to be done freely. Practicality ke naam pe anda tha gandhi or maybe the image we are present of Gandhi or how the world sees him today is totally impractical
@@sandeepshah105Mandela and MLK fought for inequality not freedom for their country, their actions didn’t help the oppressors, your so called non violent freedom fighter fought a war in South Africa, made India fight in the world war. I don’t care what Gandhi did for the world, I only care what he did for India and he did nothing but delaying India’s independence
@@sandeepshah105u solve internal issues with non violent means and fight external issues with violence.
Tipu and Hyder Ali are oversold so much and Wodeyars were non existent for historians. For Muslims Mysuru means Tipu😂😂. For Pakistani they have not even heard of Wodeyars 😂

Congi darbari chamchas spotted
Dude, when you start a sentence with “whatever Sampath says”, you are just a troll. That guy is a world renowned historian despite being from right, and wrote 2 volumes on Savarkar.
British confiscated all of the properties of Savarkar brothers, denied his book and barrister royalties, didn’t allow him to practice law, and he was sick and old. The fact is Savarkar was in abject poverty after his release.
Savarkar had 2 heart attacks, countless health conditions and was nearly on death bed after his release. I mean he spent 11-12 years of his life in the most inhumane conditions that no other major/popular freedom fighter has had go through. He had the most severe designation by the British even after his release, so much so that he under house arrest for 3 years and not allowed to leave town for 3 more years. Give him a break for “not directly getting involved in freedom struggle”
He wasn’t frustrated but disenchanted and disappointed after seeing capitulation of national movement that lead freedom, partition and overall condition of Hindus in their own country.
Read some non-commie books, especially Vikram Sampath’s. Just glossary and reference pages of that book can be compiled into a new one.
Why does "progressive" be used along with "non ritualistic" ?
Bcz of people trying to call themselves as Hindus while acting like atheists.
so much interruption by the interviewer. Let the great man, Vikram Sampath, speak without interruptions!!
Please don't give credibility to people like Veer Sanghvi by granting them high profile interview like this.

Wow! Must be interesting.
Veer savarkar was real revolutionary, he started anti caste movement even before Gandhi,

@@suryaprakash72771 I don't think Savarkar has done anything for the freedom movement after he went to jail. He was non participant in India freedom struggle after that.
But he has worked against caste. Yes, Ambedkar ji has some disagreement with his ways of creating separate temples for everyone but Savarkar has worked against the caste system.

"Please don't give credibility to people like Veer Sanghvi by granting them high profile interview like this."
There is nothing like "political Islam". As if there is something called non-political Islam too. Islam is political. It is the world's oldest and most successful political party. Every political leader can learn a lot from Mohamad and how to build a multi-generation political party. Both Vir and Vikram are dishonest in this aspect about Islam.
How about recognising the mortal danger of fascist Hindutva ideology by Sorryvarkar?
In a speech before a 20,000 strong audience at Pune on 1 August 1938, Savarkar stood by Germany's right to Nazism and Italy's to Fascism; their achievement of unprecedent glory in the world-stage and a successful inculcation of national solidarity justified those choices. Savarkar criticized Nehru for denouncing Germany and Italy, proclaiming that "crores of Hindu Sanghatanists in India [..] cherish[ed] no ill-will towards Germany or Italy or Japan." He proclaimed his support for the German occupation of Czechoslovakia in the same breath.
As World War II become imminent, Savarkar had initially advocated a policy of neutralism centered on India's geostrategic equations but his rhetoric grew coarser with time and he expressed consistent support for Hitler's policy about Jews. In a speech on 14 October, it was suggested that Hitler's ways be adopted for dealing with Indian Muslims. On 11 December, he characterized the Jews as a communal force. Next March, Savarkar would welcome Germany's revival of Aryan culture, their glorification of Swastika, and the "crusade" against Aryan enemies - it was hoped that German victory would finally invigorate the Hindus of India.

2) Having a pro Hindu approach, what Savarkar had vision for India especially when he was against partition?
Superb Interview to bring the best out of Vikram, true Bharatiya Historian, as against morons like Romila & other Lutyens historians. Gandhi was a liability who introduced nepotism by nominating Nehru, while all provinces chose Sri.SardarPatel for PM. J&K wud have been properly integrated & Pok not lost; probably, Aksai Chin not lost. Nehru could have become second PM after Patel death.
He talked so much about other stuff like gauhar khan....but this video is marketed with savarkar name......so typical .....behaviour
Savarkar : Eat these Fish
Gandhi: I am a vegetarian.
Savarkar: If we cannot eat together , how can we fight together??
Normal people be like , "WOW!!! What a logic!!!" My opinion :- Do people need to do every personal thing together before forming an alliance?? Will Savarkar bath together with anyone?? Will he let anyone sleep together beside his w!fe??

Good interview! Though towards the end Vir Sanghvi interrupted Vikram Sampath a bit too much which he had avoided for most of the interview which is what interviewers should be doing

1883 Birth
1905 (Age21) Leader of First big anti-British rule protest
1909 (Age25) Arrested in London. Jail term starts
1924 (Age 40) House arrest starts with totally damaged health. (Gandhi's all jail terms were also house arrests with a minor difference. Gandi's house arrests were with 5-star hotel amenities, servant support, and a larger Rs500 compensation. Yes, Sawarkar's "pension" was also called "Compensation". Most British officers and judges had good English mastery to know the difference between compensation and pension. )
1937 (Age 54) Free man again. Lost precious youth period in jail. Had he been a free man like Gandhi, he "might" have been a big force parallel to Congress in that period. But History is history. By 1937 British were already talking about giving dominion status and seat sharing between Hindus and Muslims. The freedom struggle was practically over. Now only Hindu-Muslim seat sharing negotiation was a "stumbling block".
1947 Partition of India (as per the book by Ambedkar, Partition was fiercely opposed by Sawarkar, fiercely championed by Ambedkar, and played both ways by Gandhi & Nehru)
Contrary to sanghi propaganda, both the Hindu Mahasabha under Savarkar and the RSS had supported the two-nation theory that resulted in the creation of Pakistan. According to them, Hindus and Muslim cannot live together so they favour India to become a religious Hindu state.
This lesser-known fact was clearly stated in the 2013 book 'Hindu Mahasabha in Colonial North India, 1915-1930' by Prabhu Bapu.

+1....they don't know how to propagate hindutva
Nice propoganda 😂
You mean like the way Congress uses Gandhi surname?
When BJP was formed only in the 1980s why should BJP has anything to do with Savarkar? If any organization supports anyone's good deeds or his or her philosophy what's the problem? For that matter does Shiv Sena have anything to do with the great Shivaji or hindutva? Bal Thackrey came to the limelight by attacking firsf the South Indians in Mumbai and was indirectly supporting dawood Ibrahim or other smugglers.
You might agree with someone's ideology, recognize their efforts, and praise them for it. The current Congress, however, has rejected Savarkar, which contrasts with Indira Gandhi's views, who acknowledged much of what Savarkar did and stood for.
Great interview. Thank you V & V!
Mr. Veer, please control your habit of constant interruptions when your guest is speaking. People want to hear the guest more.

Except the muslim hatred part, Gandhi is ideologically more suitable for BJP and RSS than Savarkar.
If RSS and BJP leave that part, you will find out Gandhi is 99.99% saying the same things which BJP/RSS says.
Gandhi believed in cow protection, vegitarian diet, religious, Ram ji, Indian past glories, Caste system, Pooja, Mantras, Indian philosophical supremacy, etc.
Savarkar was more of modern scientific and logical person. He didn't believe in this nonsense of traditional values and caste system.
He even made fun of those who said Cow is mother. He simply said how can an animal be your mother?
I would have supported Savarkar if he didn't have hatred for one community. Not bcz I love that community or they are some great people, but bcz you cannot survive by hating someone. You cannot remain sane if you are a "hat_eful big_ot".
And obviously, I don't consider "Cow as mother" but I cannot support eating beef.
Even if you don't like caste system, if you are born in ine caste you get few things since your childhood.
Me feeding cows and giving first Roti to them my entire childhood, cannot accept the idea of eating beef or even seeing someone doing that.
Indian economy was pastoral, in Vedic age we used to consider cows as a sign of wealth mainly because it was very useful animal i.e- milk to drink, dung cakes as cooking fuel, bulls for farming no wonder people consider it precious.
You are spot on here as even in my family I have cows , can't support beef at all just goes against the culture.
Nobody cares for your secularism. Soon you will be a slave to Muslims
Gauhar jan is very much known in CALCUTTA ,her house next to NAKHODA MUSJID is still there .At the end of each song s he would say in English " MY NAME IS GAUHAR JAN.

To say RSS ignores Doctorji or Guruji is plain stupidity. @VirSanghvi do you original research atleast a bit pls.
Gandhiji spoke English with heavy Kathiawadi accent. Kathiawadi is a large region of Southwest Gujarat.
I don't judge Savarkar for his letters.
But the problem is, after getting out of jail, he followed all the conditions imposed on him.
Even after 1937, he didn't get directly involved in the freedom struggle.
Also, whatever Vikram Sampat can say, but Savarkar was not starving for 60 rs British pension but he still accepted that. He actually demanded that. That puts a lot of questions on him.
Also, if we see, Savarkar weight was increased in Kala Pani. He was tortured for the 1st 1-2 years but after that he has his way.
He never participated in any protest in Andaman and this can be found out from his own writings.
So he was a great scholar, freedom fighter till he was arrested but after that he was just thinking about getting out of jail and then after coming out of jail, he didn't find relevance in Indian society.
He seemed like a frustrated guy who thinks (and rightly so) that he was more talented than Gandhi and still cannot win against him.
That frustration is the whole legacy of Savarkar, obviously after his revolutionary work till he got arrested.
Gandhi was a hypocrite!
Gauhar jaan, Only voice sent to space, Voyager-1&2
Great insight on a great man.
Very insightful discussion
Started well, remained focused but why sudden change to condescending attitude towards the end Mr Vir Sanghvi?
I am surprised V S hadn't listened to Gandhi's voice. Its a joke to ask how Gandhi sounded by a senior journo
I can see, as a Hindu, that a symbolic bull, i.e. the Blue Mahadeva riding the divine Nandi, therefore, worthy of Hindu worship but I can't see worshipping dumb animals like cows. Now I do get it that in ancient India, cows, perhaps represented wealth and thus wasn't consumed but to buy into philosophy in modern times really seems out of place. Of course, I do not resent the right of others to believe as they please.
Please interview subramanian swamy
More than understanding Dr. Sampath, this interview bares the so called "Intellectual" for not knowing even basics of Indian history.

Towards the end of the interview Dr Sampath comes out as a not so neutral historian by evading a direct answer to questions. Not a good thing for a young historian of immense promise. If he has an opinion then let him assert that than pussyfoot around questions. We are looking forward to his future works and would like him to be more surefooted than he is now.
Yeh Bharat ke Sampathi hai!
Vir Excellent interview great guest
I think both Savarkar and Jinnah were better minds, better intellectual/scholars than Gandhi.
But a great leader should not be measured by his/her intellectual prowess bcz this cannot be the criteria for a leadership.
Leaders should understand, foresee the future and are able to lead der people from the existing/current mess.
Gandhi was able to do that. We can see the Jinnah failed measurably.
Savarkar failed during freedom struggle too. But he would have failed even if he would have got his ways during 1947.
Lol, only those people love gandhi who are sadist and chagnopill. Who would love a man who would support a feaudal community even after it's onslaught against his own. Even ali brothers used and throw him 😂😂😂. Fought so hard for a fraud unity to realise it getting shatterd to dust in 1947. Still letting those feadalist to stay back so that they can continue there religious duty of dar al harb and dar al islam, W for muslim and L for his own.
What a sad life.
I usually don't watch interviews hosted by Singhvi, a political commentator with zero knowledge of history-proven when he tried to compare Gandhi with Savarkar. The print should avoid featuring him on serious subjects. However, for a scholar like Vikram, I'll make an exception.
13:08 Looks like Vir Sanghvi just walked into the interview without much research! "So, did you get a PhD?"
Thanks Mr sampat
Vir Sanghvi = Doormat of 10 Janpath
You must see under which context Hindu groups came up. British wanted to divide Hindus and Muslims in which they succeeded. First they divided Greater Bengal into East and Weather. They also started promoting Muslim interest at the cost of Hindus to which Congress did not object . After ten years of watching this match, Hindus realized the sinister game and formed groups to protect their interest. The present day Congress under Sonia and Rahul have continued undermining Hindu interest and unfortunately many Hindus in Congress toe that line
Nice sanghi propaganda 🤣🤣🤣
Is that a wonder the fascist Hindutva communal party of BJpee was unable to realise it's dream of 400 seats and being rejected by more Hindus than before?
Vir Sanghvi of the ‘dress up’ radia tapes fame tries to corner Vikram with a pointless comparison between Gandhi and Savarkar just to burnish his credentials.
Very informative
OUR RADIA TAPE HERO VIR SANGHVI
Clarity
Bloody irresponsible media
Vikram is a serious contributor to the Bharath's history. Truly admire and thank you Vikram Ji.
