About Dr. S.G. Suryah
Dr. S.G. Suryah, a dynamic individual with expertise as a startup businessman, politician, and corporate lawyer, ventured into the literary world with this remarkable book. He is the grandson of Tirukovilur Sundaram, one of the founders of BJP Tamil Nadu in 1980, and has continued his grandfather's legacy with distinction. In 2022, he was appointed BJP Tamil Nadu State Secretary, where he led numerous welfare initiatives, particularly focusing on youth and students. His exceptional contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic earned widespread recognition from the party leadership.
Referring to his book, Suryah claimed that there is a common misconception regarding Veer Savarkar, by saying," Some of the people consider Savarkar as a Hindu fanatic. In fact, he is an atheist and a reformer. In this book, I seek to reveal some unknown aspects of his biography and philosophy". Besides the politics, Dr. Suryah also actively participates in social activities and running a charity called Namo Vasavi Foundation. He has also impacted thousands of lives positively through his initiatives like NaMo Meal which provides meals to the poor and NaMo Gurukulam which helps in education of poor children. Most importantly, under the project Karka Kasadara, he is sponsoring education for more than five hundred children in South Chennai. The launching of this book is above all, a political moment, for it uncovers the life and works of Veer Savarkar and his contributions and parallelly, showcases Dr. Suryah's gestures towards literature and society.
Beyond his political career, Dr. S.G. Suryah has made significant contributions to social welfare through his charitable work with the Namo Vasavi Foundation.

Another notable project, NaMo Gurukulam, focuses on supporting the education of economically disadvantaged children, offering them opportunities to pursue their academic dreams despite financial challenges.
