आपल्या नैसर्गिक सीमा (Strategic National Boundries) अद्द्याप अमित्रांच्या हाती अडकलेल्या आहेत. नुसतीतत्वज्ञानाची अंगाईगीते गाउन त्यांचे मित्रत्व कालात्रयिही साधणार नाही. भोंगलसूतीपणाने मिलवले आहे तेहि पुन: गमावून बसू . जश्यास तसे ह्याच राजनितिने परकियांशीआपण वगु तरच टिकू, तरच जिंकु. अवतीभवतिचे आक्रामकजग हातात अणुध्वम (Nuclear Bomb) घेउन टवकारुनपाहत आहे, म्हणून तुम्हीही बलाढ्य सैन्य उभारून; एकहातात आत्माज्ञान का होइना, पण दुसऱ्या हातात अणुध्वम घेउन आपल्या हिंदुस्थानच्या संरक्षनार्थ उभे थकलेपाहिजे; वेलीच चालून गेले पाहिजे........

Before considering the ideology of 'Hindutwa' we must have to study the definition of Hinduism made by Veer Sawarkar, which is
" असिंधूसिन्धुपर्यन्ता यस्य भारतभूमिका!
पितृभू:पुण्यभू:चैव सवैहिन्दूरीतीस्मृत!! "
According to him Hindus are those who treat this motherland (INDIA) as his father and always try for the improvement of this nation. I think this is the exact definition of Hindu or of an INDIAN.......

विनायक दामोदर सावरकर
Vināyak Dāmodar Sāvarkar (Marathi: विनायक दामोदर सावरकर) (May 28, 1883 – February 26, 1966) was an Indian revolutionary and politician, who is credited with developing the Hindu nationalist political ideology Hindutva. He is considered to be the central icon of modern Hindu nationalist political parties. Rightwing historians praise him as Indian Independence Movement activist.
Savarkar's revolutionary activities began when studying in India and England, where he was associated with the India House and founded student societies including Abhinav Bharat Society and the Free India Society, as well as publications espousing the cause of complete Indian independence by revolutionary means. Savarkar would publish The Indian War of Independence about the Indian rebellion of 1857 that would be banned by British authorities. He was arrested in 1910 for his connections with the revolutionary group India House. Following a failed attempt to escape while being transported from Marseilles, Savarkar was sentenced to 50-years imprisonment and moved to the Cellular Jail in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
While in jail, Savarkar would pen the work describing Hindutva, openly espousing Hindu nationalism. He would be released in 1921 under restrictions after signing a plea for clemency in which he renounced revolutionary activities. Travelling widely, Savarkar became a forceful orator and writer, advocating Hindu political and social unity. Serving as the president of the Hindu Mahasabha, Savarkar endorsed the ideal of India as a Hindu Rashtra and opposed the Quit India struggle in 1942. He became a fierce critic of the Indian National Congress and its acceptance of India's partition, and was one of those accused in the assassination of Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi, though he was acquitted by the Court. He spent the last years of his life writing and expounding on Hindutva.
The airport at Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar's capital has been named Veer Savarkar International Airport.
He outlined his vision of a "Hindu Rashtra" (Hindu Nation) as "Akhand Bharat" (United India), purportedly stretching across the entire Indian subcontinent:
“ the Aryans who settled in India at the dawn of history already formed a nation, now embodied in the Hindus.... Hindus are bound together not only by the tie of the love they bear to a common fatherland and by the common blood that courses through their veins and keeps our hearts throbbing and our affection warm but also by the tie of the common homage we pay to our great civilisation, our Hindu culture."(Page108) ”
Scholars, historians and Indian politicians have been divided in their interpretation of Savarkar's ideas. A self-described atheist, Savarkar regards being Hindu as a cultural and political identity. While often stressing social and community unity between Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains, Savarkar's notions of loyalty to the fatherland are seen as an implicit criticism of Muslims and Christians, who regard Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem as their holiest places. Savarkar openly assailed what he saw as Muslim political separatism, arguing that the loyalty of many Muslims was conflicted. After his release, Savarkar founded the Ratnagiri Hindu Sabha on January 23, 1924, aiming to work for the social and cultural preservation of Hindu heritage and civilisation. Becoming a frequent and forceful orator, Sarvakar agitated for the use of Hindi as a common national language and against caste discrimination and untouchability. Focusing his energies on writing, Savarkar authored the Hindu Padpadashashi – a book documenting and extolling the Maratha empire – and My Transportation for Life – an account of his early revolutionary days, arrest, trial and incarcertaion. He also wrote and published a collection of poems, plays and novels.
He died on February 26th 1966 but before that gave India one of its longest running ideology in Indian politics : "HINDUTVA"
