After deciding to organise the first-ever seminar on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideologue MS Golwalkar, the Indian Council for Philosophical Research (ICPR) is planning to hold a seminar on freedom fighter VD Savarkar, popularly addressed as Veer Savarkar.
ICPR, which is an organisation under the ministry of human resource development and is responsible for research in philosophy, plans to organise the seminar in Andaman later this year. The seminar of Golwalkar, popularly addressed as 'guruji' by RSS members will be held on September 6 by the council, where they plan to discuss his ideas of nationalism. This is also a first by any government agency.
ICPR source say a meeting of their research project committee will be held on September 11 during which the seminar plan will also be discussed and once it's approved, the seminar will be organised in the month of November.
Confirming the development, a senior official in ICPR said, "Seminar on VD Savarkar is on the meeting agenda of our research project committee and the committee is most likely to give a green signal to it."
The council plans to hold a session of the seminar inside the Cellular Jail in Andaman as Savarkar was lodged there for over 10 years during the independence struggle. The other sessions will be held in Jawaharlal Nehru PG College in Port Blair, Andaman. The idea is to discuss Savarkar's contribution to freedom struggle and his idea of nationalism.
"Holding the seminar in Andaman will be a way of commemorating his memory, since he spent more than a decade in the jail there" the official added. On Savarkar's death anniversary in February, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called him "true patriot."
