Final Review: Vinayak

9. What is Savarkar’s problem with English historians?

English historians like to avoid the truth. English historians do not necessarily write what is correct, and oftentimes it is misleading. The English writings of the Indian Revolutionary War are coming from a different perspective than that of Indians, so if English readers were to come across the writings they would be viewing the War from a completely different perspective. Savarkar believes the English historians are persuaded by a bigger means than needing to tell the truth, and that is personal gain. Find this answer on page 206.
