They call Veer Savarkar a "coward".

Correction: The cowards call Veer Savarkar a "coward".

The man who instilled such fear in the hearts of British that they couldn't risk his freedom.

The man who faced solitary confinement, inhuman labor, unimaginable horrors in Cellular Jail, not for days or months, but over a decade.

The man who penned The First War of Independence.

The man who inspired countless freedom fighters and dreamt of a Bharat unshackled, unapologetic, and united.

Let’s get this straight: This is as much Savarkar’s India as it is Gandhi’s. More so today when Hindutva is the fulcrum of India's politics.

Gandhi has been immortalised using a calculated campaign for over 7 decades — from our currency to national holiday to our foreign policy language. On the other hand, as calculatively, Savarkar has been vilified in a deliberate malicious campaign.

Time to correct it. Time to give Savarkar his due. Time to make Savarkar as much a part of our private and public lives as Gandhi, if not more.

Swarajya's Veer Savarkar poster frame is a statement towards the same.

Imagine this iconic frame adorning your study, office, or living room—a daily challenge to history's half-truths and a tribute to real patriotism. Gift it to someone who respects India's true heroes.

This bold purchase here can be your declaration that this is Savarkar's Bharat.

And yes, limited stocks!
