This report highlights the escalating political row in India regarding the proposal to confer the Bharat Ratna on Veer Savarkar. The discussion follows comments suggesting that Savarkar is ‘above even the Bharat Ratna award’ and that his recognition would be a matter of national pride. However, the proposal has met with stiff resistance from opposition leaders. Critics argue against the decoration, citing historical controversies and alleging that Savarkar ‘propagated the two-nation theory’ and ‘served the interest of the British regime.’ The debate underscores a deep ideological divide, with the Congress party reportedly prepared to resist the move ‘tooth and nail.’ The programme explores how Savarkar’s legacy, specifically his coining of the term ‘Hindutva,’ remains a central bone of contention between the BJP and the Congress, with further critical arguments expected from top opposition leadership in the coming days.
