Nathuram Godse
On January 30th, 1948, he was walking slowly from his home to attend a prayer meeting when a thirty-nine years old Hindu called Nathuram Godse who mistakably thought Gandhi was harming the Hindus by being friendly to Muslims shot the Great Soul after respectfully bowing to him. A few minutes later a man came out to the waiting crowd and announced that the little old man who sacrificed with all he had for his country, who reshaped the lives of many, who changed the path of the world, who inspired -and still will inspire- mankind till the end of the world was dead
After a few days, following the custom of the Hindu religion, Gandhi's body was burned in the presence of a great crowd and the ashes were scattered over the waters of the sacred rivers.
Gandhi's death was regarded as an international crisis. His place in humanity was measured not in terms of the 20th century, but in terms of history. And although Mohandas Gandhi was no more, the Great Soul was eternal forever

On January 30, 1948, on his way to a prayer meeting, Gandhi was shot dead in Birla House, New Delhi, by Nathuram Godse. Godse was a Hindu radical with links to the extremist Hindu Mahasabha, who held Gandhi responsible for weakening India by insisting upon a payment to Pakistan.[12] Godse and his co-conspirator Narayan Apte were later tried and convicted, and on 15 November 1949, were executed. A prominent revolutionary and Hindu extremist, the president of the Mahasabha, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar was accused of being the architect of the plot, but was acquitted due to lack of evidence.

Nathuram Vinayak Godse killed gandhi , because of him India was partitioned . Because of gandhi India got freedom too late. Because of gandhi many people were killed, loose their bread & butter, the best example is because of him Bhagat singh was hanged. Because of the politics he played, because of his selfish nature.
