Savarkar's Grandnephew Testifies Against Cow Worship in Court Defamation Case
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, a Hindutva ideologue, viewed cows as useful animals deserving protection but opposed their worship as deities, according to his grandnephew Satyaki Savarkar during court testimony. Citing Savarkar's book 'Vigyan-Nishtha Nibandha,' Satyaki highlighted that Savarkar criticized treating cows as divine and compared their utility to other domestic animals. This statement was made amid a defamation trial involving Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who was accused of making defamatory remarks about Savarkar.
