Six Glorious Epochs of Indian History is a learning experience which covers the period of Muslim invasions in India and brave retaliation by the natives. No less was the struggle of Indian manes against British rule and for freedom and liberation of the mother country. The author’s tribute to the martyrs and his letters to dear ones from Andamans, miscellaneous statements and writings are also included in this book. The first four epochs are covered in only hundred plus pages while the last two epochs span almost four hundred plus pages, signifying the importance that the author gave to this period.
So far we have been given the picture of British rule, the history and politics in India by foreign and leftist writers, but in this book Veer Savarkar makes us look at the country’s history and politics from the Bharatiya perspective. Not only does he analyse the mistakes committed by Hindus since the time of Alexander’s invasion till the British rule, he tries to enlighten our minds with the prevalent situation in his time. All that he himself learnt from history, he tries to correct through this book of his.

Swatantrayaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar was a great Indian revolutionary and a politico-military strategist, who tried to build India militarily in order to drive out the British. 
The word, ‘Savarkar’ is synonymous with courage, bravery, might and patriotism. Inscribed on golden pages of revolutionary history, freedom fighter Savarkar’s overall personality was full of matchless qualities—a revolutionary who put his life at stake for liberating his motherland; a visionary who raised his voice against social evils, such as casteism, untouchability and superstition; a karmayogi who followed the principles of the Gita in his life; a philosopher who suffered atrocities at the Cellular Jail of Andaman with forbearance while experiencing pulsation of the ageless and endless divine soul inside him; an orator who shook and left his audience spellbound with his fiery thoughts. Freedom-fighter Veer Savarkar was a gifted writer who wrote high-quality poems, novels, stories, biographies, history, essays etc. in an engaging and convincing style.
It is rarely seen that a person engaged in the freedom struggle and social reforms is an excellent author as well, and Savarkar is a living example of such rarity.
