Many freedom fighters including prisoners of Cellular Jail who were severely tortured by British didn't even accept Pension from Independent Indian Govt while saying they fought for the country, not for Pension.
But Savarkar used to take Pension before 1947 more than DM's salary.
An unsung national hero.
90 years ago, on May 17th 1933, Mahavir Singh was tortured and killed by the British at Andaman's Cellular Jail, when he refused to break his hunger strike. He was a member of HSRA & a close friend of Bhagat Singh.
But Mahavir Singh is not known as VEER

Even my great-grandfather & grandma's brother were brutally beaten by the British. Great-grandfather lived more than half of his 90years with severe back pain caused by the jail torture (1/2)
