A book on VD Savarkar will be released by vice-president Venkaiah Naidu this week, and the freedom fighter’s grandson, Ranjit Savarkar, will also be present at the event.
The book, written by Vikram Sampath, comes to the market close on the heels of a fresh debate over the leader.
The book will be released at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library—the venue that has been closely associated with Jawaharlal Nehru’s memories and till recently was exclusively preserved in the memory of India’s first prime minister.
Apart from Naidu and Ranjit Savarkar, parliamentarian Sonal Mansingh and finance ministry’s principal economic advisor Sanjeev Sanyal will also be present.
