Savarkar row

Sir, — Savarkar was undoubtedly a great freedom fighter. All freedom fighters jailed by the British were prisoners of the war of independence fought through violent or non-violent means. The duty of a PoW is to try to escape captivity and Savarkar did just that by writing to the British.

Sir, — The attack on the Sangh Parivar by leaders such as Mani Shankar Aiyar lacks clarity and purpose.
