| Summary/Abstract |
This paper reads V.D. Savarkar’s last work, Six Glorious Epochs of Indian History, and advances two arguments concerning Hindutva international thought. Firstly, it foregrounds and theorizes an organicist conception of the international that is embedded in the text. Savarkar’s narrative contains a social evolutionary account of India’s historical international relations. Drawing upon a history of over two thousand years of warfare, they are extremely violent, visceral and mediated by caste and race. These aspects have not been adequately discussed within existing expositions, which emphasize culture and geopolitics. Secondly, the paper examines the Savarkarite framing of the “Akhand Bharat” problematic and the strategy for its resolution. Savarkar situates this post-partition problematic within a long and glorious record of the Hindus in successfully resisting their homeland’s internationalization. The resolution – the establishment of a subcontinental polity of the Hindus – gains within Savarkarite thought the legitimacy and force of a millenialist, affectively-charged history.

| Summary/Abstract |
India as a nation had seen so many thinkers, philosopher, revolutionaries, freedom fighters, and many more who had contributed their significant efforts in the process of unification or in the making of Akhând Bharat. Their far-sighted vision laid the foundation against the oppressor and their oppressed rule. Meanwhile, the significant issue is that they don’t just fight with the oppressor who came from outside rather they also made several contradictions with the social anomalies which restrained the unification process among the nation. Among these, there are numerous categories of leaders who came up with static principles and norms, strong conviction, and dedicated their entire life to attain the goal i.e., the making and (true) liberation of the nation. Vallabhbhai Patel, first Deputy Prime Minister of the nation, comes very firstly to this category.
