Recently released documents from the Nehru
Archive show that India’s first Prime Minister had advised President Dr
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan against conferring the Bharat Ratna – the country’s
highest civilian honour – on Savarkar.
The suggestion to award the Bharat Ratna to
Savarkar came from the Punjab unit of the Hindu Mahasabha. Responding to
Radhakrishnan’s letter from Dehradun in June 1963, Nehru wrote, “Your office has sent me a
letter which I am returning. In this letter it is suggested that Bharat Ratna
may be awarded to Shri Savarkar. Shri Savarkar has certainly played an
important part in his early days in the freedom movement. But later he became a
very controversial figure. I do not think it would be advisable to accept this
suggestion made by the Punjab Hindu Mahasabha.” --INDIAN EXPRESS.
