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.

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.
