Savarkar was influenced by the life and thinking of Italian Nationalist leader, [[Giuseppe Mazzini]]. During his stay in London, Savarkar translated Mazzini's biography in Marathi.<ref>Kumar, M. (2006). [http://www.jstor.org/stable/27644182 History and Gender in Savarkar's Nationalist Writings. Social Scientist, 34(11/12), pp 33–50.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221126171440/https://www.jstor.org/stable/27644182 |date=26 November 2022 }}</ref> He also influenced thinking of a fellow student called [[Madanlal Dhingra]]. In 1909, Dhingra assassinated [[Curzon Wyllie]], a colonial officer. It is alleged by Mark Juergensmeyer that Savarkar supplied the gun which Dhingra used. Juergensmeyer further alleged that Savarkar supplied the words for Dhingra's last statement before he went to the gallows for the murder. Savarkar met [[Mohandas Gandhi]] for the first time in London shortly after Curzon-Wyllie's assassination. During his stay, Gandhi debated Savarkar and other nationalists in London on the futility of fighting the colonial state through acts of terrorism and guerilla warfare.<ref>Juergensmeyer, Mark.
