Original Note:
Misleading. Narayan died on 19 Oct 1949, >620 days after Gandhi's assassination. He was assaulted on 31 Jan 1948 but not "lynched to death". https://savarkar.org/en/encyc/2017/5/28/Veer-Savarkar-s-Family-Members.html https://ia803409.us.archive.org/17/items/in.ernet.dli.2015.52087/2015.52087.Savarkar-And-His-Times-1950.pdf (Pg 370) "8000" Chitpavan Brahmins lynched to death - no credible sources mention figures anywhere close to 8000. https://archive.org/details/citycountrysides0000unse/page/34/mode/2up?view=theater https://ia803409.us.archive.org/17/items/in.ernet.dli.2015.52087/2015.52087.Savarkar-And-His-Times-1950.pdf (Chapter XX)
