Why was Mahatma Gandhi assassinated?

Answer 1

"On January 30, 1948, on his way to a prayer meeting, Gandhi was shot and killed 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. Godse and his co-conspirator Narayan Apte were later tried and convicted, and on 15 November 1949, were executed. Gandhi's memorial (or Samādhi) at Rāj Ghāt, New Delhi, bears the epigraph, (Devanagari: हे ! राम or, He Rām), which may be translated as "Oh God". These are widely believed to be Gandhi's last words after he was shot, though the veracity of this statement has been disputed by many."

"The assassination

[Motive
The immediate motive for the assassination is usually ascribed to Gandhi's January 13, 1948 decision to fast to the death unless the Indian central government reversed 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 continued Pakistani rebel occupation of disputed parts 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. The 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 several times at close range. The weapon used by Godse was a Beretta M1934 semi-automatic pistol in .380 ACP caliber, serial number 606824.
The trial and execution
Following his assassination of Gandhi, Godse, who did not try to flee, was captured, put on trial, and ultimately hanged along with another man involved in the case. Godse stood trial beginning May 27, 1948. On November 8, 1949, Godse was sentenced to death for the killing. He was hanged at Ambala Jail, at the same time as the other conspirator sentenced to death, (Narayan Apte), on November 15, 1949."
