Book Summary
The New Icon: Savarkar And The Facts is a rigorous examination of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar that blends biography with archival history. Written for history enthusiasts, students, and curious readers, this non-fiction work navigates controversy with clarity and balance, inviting you to reconsider one of modern India's most polarizing figures.
In The New Icon: Savarkar And The Facts, Arun Shourie draws on Savarkar's own writings, public speeches, and a wealth of archival material, including British government records, to test long-held assumptions. The book guides you through contested moments—from escape narratives and friendships to political stance and the shaping of Hindutva—without surrendering to easy answers, presenting a careful, evidence-based portrait that rewards careful reading.
The narrative pace blends rigorous scholarship with accessible prose, making dense history approachable while inviting readers to weigh sources, consider context, and form their own conclusions about Savarkar's influence on India's past and present.
After reading The New Icon: Savarkar And The Facts, readers gain a nuanced understanding of Savarkar's role in shaping modern India, along with the critical tools to think about national identity, memory, and the politics of history. The book leaves you with a sense of informed curiosity and confidence to engage in thoughtful discussions about Hindutva, modernity, and the ongoing story of India's republic.
