Today we are going to tell you how the word 'Veer' came in front of his name. There is a story related to the title 'Veer' of Savarkar which we are going to tell you today. It is said that the artist who gave Savarkar the title of 'Veer' was also called as 'Acharya' by him.

During that time the title of both the names became popular in such a way that people do not take names without their title. Savarkar was blacklisted by the party after a dispute with the Congress over a statement. During that time, Savarkar was opposed everywhere.
