The Indian Journal of Political ScienceSummary: Sawarkar was a great patriot. He was very spirited and a staunch nationalist. His writings talk about his boundless love for the motherland. Throughout his life, he only thought of the nation and gave importance to the national sentiments. He persistently worked for the national interest and for getting independence. His freedom movement had the colours and background of liberty and equality- He was against inhuman and unjust political power. He was for the democratic system being run by the fixed constitutional rules. But Sawarkar’s work and his thoughts were criticized. Especially his thoughts regarding foreign policy and international relations are not focused; on the other hand these thoughts are kept aside (hidden). Actually they are very important and useful to foreign policy makers. Taking all the points in to the consideration, I have tried to study thoughts of Sawarkar on foreign policy and international politics. I have also tried to analyze the relevance of Sawarkar’s thoughts in the context of present Indian foreign policy and international politics. The purpose behind writing this article is not only is to appreciate Sawarkar’s views on Indian Foreign Policy, which can be interpreted as the fine amalgamation of realism and idealism. That is making our country powerful in all regards such as military, finance etc. But also adhere to the divine principle of human religion. Also I don’t want to under-estimate the very core genres of Indian Foreign Policy stated by the thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi and Pt. Nehru but to focus Sawarkar’s neglected and ignored views which are nationalistic, realistic and later extension of it in the world human religion. – Reproduced
