This essay undertakes a co-reading of two very important texts that emerged during the anti-colonial movement in India. In 1909, they encountered each other in India House, the home of Indian revolutionaries founded by the influential Shyamji Krishna Varma (1857-1930). SWATANTRYAVEER Savarkar (1883-1966) and MAHATMA Gandhi (1869-1948) both patriots, subscribed radically different views on how India that is Bharat should win its freedom. Savarkar advocated for “armed revolt” while Gandhi promoted non-violent Satyagraha to achieve freedom. Dhananjay Keer, notable biographer of both Savarkar and Gandhi, believed that Gandhi wrote Hind Swaraj in 1909 in response to Savarkar’s advocacy of armed revolution. Savarkar’s First War of Independence was also published the same year. Interestingly, both books were banned by the colonial government and continue even today to shape the Idea of India. This essay contends that both worldviews warrant recognition as coexisting and parallel elements within the broader cosmology of knowledge.
