Historian Vikram Sampath on Tuesday shed light on the life of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, also known as Veer Savarkar and the rhetoric of him being an apologist by a section of society. 


Speaking at ABP Network's India@2047 Summit, the noted historian said that while there is a section of society which claims him to have apologised to the Britishers, he was the one to start the first secret society. 


Sampath further said that he was the one who first boycotted foreign-made goods, contrary to the popular notion that Mahatma Gandhi did it first. Savarkar was the first one to burn foreign-made clothes at Pune's Ferguson College, he added.
