Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawai'i at Manoa, 2007.

Of the many individuals involved in the Indian nationalist movement during the early twentieth century, one of the most important and controversial was the life of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (1883-1966). In this dissertation, I examine a formative period of V.D. Savarkar's life between 1905-1924 in the context of the Indian struggle for independence. The period marks the beginning of Savarkar's political activities as a student at Ferguson College in Pune, and concludes with his conditional release from Ratnagiri Prison. Savarkar was sentenced in 1911 to two life terms (50 years) in jail for his involvement in the assassination of A.M.T. Jackson, Nasik District Magistrate, and for waging war against the Emperor, in 1909. I chart historical contingencies associated with Savarkar's construction of Hindutva, Hindu-ness, or Hindu national identity, celebrated in his rhetorical tract entitled "Hindutva" published in 1924. I suggest that Savarkar's resolute position toward a national and composite Hindu identity was influenced by several historical factors represented in the dissertation as "contact zones" (Pratt and Boehmer): anti-colonial resistance in the Deccan and India as a whole, and anti-imperialist and Socialist politics in London and Paris. Integral to this period of Savarkar's life was his arrest, conviction, and subsequent imprisonment, aspects of which are explored here. In the final analysis of the dissertation, this study of Savarkar operates as an interrogation of both the accepted hagiographic of his life and the colonial authorities criminalization of his actions. The dissertation offers then to present an imperfect historical corrective to an uncritical Hindu nationalist reading of India's struggle for independence.
