if you think about it logically...Saying that, its quite strange even as an atheist he prefered Hinduism to reflourish throughout India (maintain its cultural roots) then Islam or anything else.
Don't forget, nationalism them (pre 1947) was defying the British, creating mutinys and rejecting any foriegn rule.
800 years of Islam and 300 years British rule, our civlisation was under attack from Christians and Muslims for centuries
Both religions constantly degrading our customs..So much to say on that!

When British westerners or assholes think of Nationalism in the west..
They vision and associate it with skin heads like the "national front" or BNP, those proper old school racist groups that smash and burn asian shops after a few pints or a football match
It rings alarm bells...
Bhagat Singh was a Nationalist too..He opposed Gandhis thoughts...He said it straight..."If they kill us, we will kill them.." (Them, meaning the British)
No idiot is going to imitate Bhagat Singh today. that was then and this is now.
Savarkar's goal was to revive Hinduism (the culture of the land) after 1,000 years of invading bullshit.
He had no intention to invade or force Hinduism across the globe unlike some of the fucked up shit we see today.
