[edit] Early life

A group photo of people accused in the Mahatma Gandhi's murder case. Standing: Shankar Kistaiya, Gopal Godse, Madanlal Pahwa, Digambar Badge (Approver). Sitting: Narayan Apte, Vinayak D. Savarkar, Nathuram Godse, Vishnu KarkareNathuram Godse was born on May 19, 1910. He was a Chitpavan Brahmin. His father was Vinayak Vaman Rao Godse, his mother Lakshmi (Godavari before marriage). His father was a fifteen-rupee-a-month employee of the post office.

Nathuram attended the local school at Baramati up through the fourth standard. Then he was sent to live with an aunt in Pune so that he could study at an English-language school.

In 1930, Nathuram's father was transferred to the town of Ratnagiri. While staying with his parents at Ratnagiri, the young Nathuram first met Veer Savarkar, a proponent of Hindutva.


[edit] Godse's political career
Godse dropped out of high school and became an activist with the Hindu Mahasabha. They were particularly opposed to the separatist politics of the All India Muslim League. Godse started a Marathi newspaper for Hindu Mahasabha called Agrani, some years later renamed Hindu Rashtra.

The Hindu Mahasabha had initially backed Gandhi's campaigns of civil disobedience against the British government. Godse himself had actively participated in the civil disobedience movement; he had been imprisoned by the government on charges of tree-felling[citation needed].

However, Godse and his mentors later rejected Gandhi. They felt that Gandhi was sacrificing Hindu interests in an effort to appease minority groups. They blamed Gandhi for the bloody Partition of India, in which hundreds of thousands of people died.


[edit] The assassination
The immediate motive for the assassination is usually ascribed to Gandhi's January 13, 1948 decision to fast to the death, a term of which was that the Indian central government reverse a decision to withhold the transfer of 55 crore (550 million) rupees to the government of Pakistan. The transfer had been specified in the partition agreement, but the Indian government had refused to complete it, complaining of the Pakistani military occupation of part of the Indian state of Kashmir.

The Indian government immediately reversed its decision to withhold the funds, which infuriated Godse and his friends.

It is far from clear whether or not the decision to assassinate Gandhi was taken by Godse alone, or whether he had consulted with other Mahasabha members, or even received their help in carrying out the assassination. Mahasabha resolutely denied all complicity, and Godse took full responsibility. However, many critics believe that Godse did not act alone.

Godse assassinated Gandhi on January 30, 1948, approaching him during a public appearance, bowing, and shooting him at close range. The gun used by Godse was a Beretta M1934 semi-automatic pistol in .380 ACP caliber, serial number 606824.


[edit] The trial
Following his assassination of Gandhi, Godse, who did not try to flee, was captured, tried and executed. Godse stood trial on November 8, 1949. Godse was sentenced to death for the killing and hanged on November 15, 1949.


[edit] Aftermath
Millions of Indians mourned Gandhi's assassination. Some rioted and attacked Hindu activists. The Hindu Mahasabha was vilified and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the RSS, was temporarily banned. However, later investigators could find no evidence that the RSS bureaucracy had formally sponsored or even knew of Godse's plot. The RSS ban was lifted by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in 1949.

The RSS to this day deny any connection with Godse and dispute the claim that he was a member; they say that Godse was definitively a member of the Congress Party, and that if any party should be blamed, it should be the Congress, not the RSS.

Savarkar was also charged with conspiracy in the assassination of Gandhi, but was acquitted and subsequently released.

A film, Nine Hours to Rama, was made in 1963 and was based on the events leading up to the assassination, seen mainly from Godse's point-of-view.

The film Hey Ram made in 2000 also briefly touches the events related to the assassination.

Nathuram Godse Book

Answer 3

.... Take it this way. If you ask this question to Gandhi himself, he would have certainly opposed death penalty and would have gone on hunger strike till the culprit's acquittal. But you have to keep in mind the laws of society and land otherwise the tag of being civilized people and law abiding people will have no meaning. Moreover what about the abundance of love of the millions of people which they had for Gandhi ? How one can be convinced of such a great loss to the nation without being equated with gravest punishment though no punishment including the death penalty could ever equal such a loss ? Non-violence is a workable & adoptable policy but to an extent as there is always some room for exceptions. And you are well aware that there are always exceptions to the rule and policies. And death penalty to godse was very minimal in comparison to the crime which he committed. In the world where violence is the key word for the nations, for the armies, for the administration and for the terrorists, non-violence has taken a step backward though the importance hasn't diminished yet. .....
