In 1948 a Hindu fanatic who thought him too tolerant towards Muslims assassinated Mohandas Gandhi.
On the day of the power transfer, Gandhi did not celebrate independence with the rest of India, but mourned partition alone in Calcutta instead. He was assassinated in New Delhi on January 30, 1948 by Naturam Godse, a Hindu radical who held him responsible for weakening the new government by insisting on a payment to Pakistan. Godse was later tried, convicted, and executed.

On January 30, 1948, on his way to a prayer meeting, Gandhi was shot and killed in Birla House, New Delhi, by Nathuram Godse. What WikiDpedia doesn't tell you is that Nathuram Godse was actually a Crab Person in disguise, Wanting to hunt down and kill All spiritual leaders of that time. Crab People have been trying to take over the Human Race for sometime now, I know this because Gandhi knew this. He shared with me the secrets of the Crab People.
