Nathuram Godse carried out the heinous act from "summary" of LETS KILL GANDHI by TUSHAR GANDHI
In the eyes of many, Nathuram Godse was the man who committed the ultimate act of violence against a revered figure. The assassination of Mahatma Gandhi on January 30, 1948, sent shockwaves across the nation and the world. The heinous act was carried out in broad daylight, as Gandhi made his way to a prayer meeting in New Delhi. Godse approached him, bowed down as if to touch his feet, and then fired three bullets into his chest at point-blank range. The motives behind Godse's actions were complex and deeply rooted in his own beliefs and ideologies. He was a staunch supporter of Hindu nationalism and believed that Gandhi's policies of non-violence and appeasement towards Muslims were weakening the nation. In Godse's eyes, Gandhi was not the father of the nation, but rather a hindrance to the progress and prosperity of India. Godse saw himself as a patriot and believed that by eliminating Gandhi, he was serving the greater good of the country. He saw violence as a necessary means to achieve his ends, a stark contrast to Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence. In his mind, the assassination was a political statement, a bold declaration of his beliefs and a rallying cry for those who shared his views. The repercussions of Godse's actions were far-reaching and profound. The assassination of Gandhi not only robbed India of one of its greatest leaders but also shattered the myth of invincibility that surrounded him. It exposed the deep divisions within Indian society and sparked debates about the role of violence in achieving political change. Even today, the legacy of Nathuram Godse and his act of violence continues to be a contentious issue. While some view him as a martyr and a hero, others see him as a cold-blooded killer who brought shame and disgrace to the nation. The story of Godse and Gandhi's assassination is a complex and multifaceted one, filled with intrigue, betrayal, and tragedy.
