An excerpt from the article:

"Even at the cheap risk of being dismissed as communal, I would like to say, as a humble lover of Hinduism, Hinduness, Hindutva and Sanathana Dharma, that one of my great heroes is Pundit Madan Mohan Malaviya (1861-1946). A great patriot, eminent educationist, renowned journalist, social and religious reformer, erudite scholar, able parliamentarian and an eloquent speaker, Pundit Madan Mohan Malaviya was a shining light of the constitutional movement in India. He became the President of the Indian National Congress at its session in Delhi in 1918. For long, he remained a Member of the United Provinces Legislative Council and the Central Legislative Assembly. He was one of those giants who laid the foundation of modern Indian nationalism. He had widely acclaimed achievements to his credit, chief among them being the founder and architect of the Banaras Hindu University. He was a giant amongst men who laid the solid foundation of Indian Nationalism and year by year, built up brick by brick and stone by stone, the noble edifice of India's freedom."
