Q.27) With reference to the revolutionary extremist V D Savarkar, consider the following statements:

1. In 1904 Savarkar organised the Abhinav Bharat on lines of Mazzini’s Young Italy.

2. Inspired by ‘India House’ of Shyamaji Verma, he organised the ‘Free Indian Society’ to organise students for a revolution.

3. In a famous pamphlet published in 1923, he first coined the term Hindutva.

4. He presided over a session of Hindu Mahasabha.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

a) 1 and 2 only

b) 1, 2 and 3 only

c) 2, 3 and 4 only

d) 1, 2, 3 and 4

Ans) d Exp) All the statements are correct. 

Doubt: Statement 3 must be wrong, as stated that term Hindutva coined by V D Savarkar, but it's mentioned in Quartz INDIA thatVinayak postulated that the essence of being a “Hindu”, defined by him as “Hindutva” or Hindu-ness, was completely different from the popular religious connotation of “Hinduism.” Incidentally,it is believed that Chandranath Basu first coined the term“Hindutva”—a neologism with Sanskrit etymology—in his 1892 Bengali work, Hindutva—Hindur Prakrita Itihas (Hindutva—An Authentic History). But it was undoubtedly Vinayak who popularised the term within a short span of time.

Which sect of Jainism did Sthulbahu belonged to? While TN Textbook says that he belonged to Digambar sect, but some other sources say he belonged to Svetambar sect. Does anyone have authentic and clear information about it?

1. Digambar (Samayya)- Bhadrabhu and his followers were called Digambar, they were called Southern jains. Tirthankar of Digambar class remains naked People of this branch basically give up on exile and penance by sacrificing garments in their peak condition based on unbridhip and sacrifice. People of this class consider themselves four directions. Chandragupta Maurya adopted Jainism and became an ascetic under the Jain saint Bhadrabahu. He ended his days at Śravaṇa Beḷgoḷa (in present day Karnataka) by sallekhana (death by fasting).
2. Shwetambar (TERPANTY)- Sathbahahu and his followers were called Shwetambar. People of this class wear white clothes and keep the clothes on their mouth. Eat food before sunset.
