Why Godse killed Gandhi ji?

Nathuram Godse belonged to an association named RSS. He assassinated Mahatma Gandhi, a revered figure in India.

Godse said Gandhi was more tolerant to Muslims than Hindus. He disagreed with Gandhi's support for the establishment of Pakistan as a separate nation for Muslims.

Godse believed that Gandhi's nonviolent methods rendered the Hindu community more vulnerable. He thought that by assassinating Gandhi, he might advance Hindu interests.

Godse opened fire on Gandhi three times from a close range on January 30, 1948, while he was attending a prayer gathering in New Delhi.

Gandhi suffered injuries that led to his death, and the whole country lamented his passing.

Godse was detained and put on trial following the murder.

Godse argued during the trial that he made such a harsh decision.

On November 15, 1949, he was sentenced to death and later executed.

The assassination of Gandhi shocked the nation and the world, as he was an advocate for peace and non-violence.

Many condemned Godse's actions, including within the Hindu nationalist movement.
