The Father of India, Murdered by His Own Sons - January 30, 1948
Download MP3On January 30, 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated not by a foreign enemy but by Nathuram Godse, a Hindu nationalist who believed Gandhi had betrayed India by showing compassion to Muslims. Godse had attempted to kill Gandhi twice before; both times Gandhi refused to press charges. Today, Godse is publicly celebrated by some in India as a patriot a development that reveals ongoing debates about Indian identity, nationalism, and Gandhi's legacy.
