Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (28 May 1883 – 26 February 1966) popularly called Veer Savarkar, was an Indian politician and ideologue . Savarkar developed the Hindu nationalist political ideology of Hindutva while imprisoned in 1923. He was a leading figure in the Hindu Mahasabha.
Savarkar began his political activities as a high school student and continued at Fergusson College in Pune. He and his brother founded a secret society called Abhinav Bharat Society. When Savarkar travelled to England for his law studies, he involved himself with organisations such as India House and the Free India Society.
