Here's a good start for talking about V. V. S. Aiyar, the rebel: V. V. S. Aiyar, a big person in India's fight for freedom, lived a life filled with strong love for his country and a need for what's right. He was born on 02 April 1881, in Vellore, Tamil Nadu. His rebel heart started early, making him like new ideas and action. Before he became a rebel, he was a lawyer. Aiyar wanted a faster way to be free. His time in London, from 1906 to 1910, was important. There, he joined the India House, a place for Indian people who wanted their country to be free, and became friends with people like Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. This friendship made him even more sure that he wanted to fight back against British rule. He was very involved in the Abhinav Bharat Society, a secret group that did rebel things. He wrote and shared rebel writings. This included the Tamil weekly, "Bala Bharata", and the translation of Giuseppe Mazzini's writings, which helped many people. Aiyar's involvement in the Tirunelveli Conspiracy Case led to him being caught and put in jail. When he got out, he kept writing and doing social work, but his rebel fire never went away. He was many things, a lawyer, a writer, a poet, and most of all, a devoted rebel who helped make India's freedom movement.
