भारतीय इतिहास के ६ स्वर्णिम पृष्ठ (वीर सावरकर - विदेशी आक्रान्ताओं पर विजय गाथा)

Notes [←1] Sakharam Gorhe—he was one of those accused persons in the Nasik revolutionary conspiracy trial who stated in the High Court to have been subjected to police tortures and morpolurs starvatonary to wring out confessions from them so as to implicate other persons as well. The High Court held that the story was an exaggeration and partly a fabrication! History in the long end may record who was right and spoke the truth. All that can be said now is that Sakharam did not implicate anyone else, was sentenced to 5 years’ imprisonment and died while in a jail, a martyr’s death.

[←2] This petition expressing the political views of the revolutionaries in general and Mr. V. D. Sawarkar in particular was written to the Government chiefly with the intention of pressing no sooner than the passage of the Reforms through the Parliament. For, Mr. Savarkar had several reasons to believe that the Government was then anxious to know what effect the bill would have on the revolutionist attitude. He was several times approached by the authorities there and invited to express his views. He was convinced that the Reforms were chiefly addressed to the revolutionists.
