"Debate Not About The Past But Future Identity": Professor Shruti Kapila On Savarkar Row

Discussing the recent debate about the history and legacy of VD Savarakar, Professor Shruti Kapila says, "Today the struggle in India, the history wars in India, is about the future identity of India. This debate is not about the past, it is about what India stands for today and what is going to look like in the future." She further says that this debate is a "fringe, secretive and parallel movement to the mainstream nationalistic movement".
