Why I Killed Gandhi?
by Nathuram Godseon Dec 09, 2024

Nathuram Godse, the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi, argues for his conduct in his contentious book Why I Killed Gandhi? Godse's perspective on his reasons for killing Gandhi on January 30, 1948, is presented in this book, which was written as a courtroom statement during his prosecution. He claims that during India's division, Gandhi placated Muslims at the expense of Hindus, which Godse felt caused Hindus great hardship.
The book describes Godse's dissatisfaction with Gandhi's policies, including his support for the establishment of Pakistan and his use of fasting to coerce the Indian government into sending money to Pakistan. Godse presents himself as a patriot who believed that Gandhi's strategies were detrimental to India's integrity and unity. The book is still very contentious and divisive despite its historical significance since it defends violence against one of India's most venerated historical heroes.
