Actor Randeep Hooda flagged off the Savarkar Mukti Century Yatra, commemorating the significant contributions of armed revolutionaries to India`s freedom movement as he was gearing up for the release of his movie in 2024. The sacrifices of numerous revolutionaries in securing India`s independence were acknowledged, with Veer Savarkar hailed as the leader of these armed revolutionaries.
After his release from Andaman in 1921, Savarkar was detained in Ratnagiri and later transferred to Yerwada prison. Under mounting public pressure, Veer Savarkar was freed from imprisonment on January 6, 1924. He was brought from Yerwada jail to Bombay, then taken to Ratnagiri on January 8, 1924, marking the commencement of his 13-year `Samajkranti Parv.`
