"Mujhe Maut se nahi ,desh k liye kuch kiye bina marr jane se
darr lagta hai.Gandhi Desh ko kamzoor bana raha tha isliye
maine usse mara.."- NATHURAM GODSE
Today is his Birth day.
Nathuram Vinayak Godse (19 May 1910 – 15 November 1949) was the sole assassin ofMahatma Gandhi, shooting Gandhi in the chest three times at point blank range on 30 January 1948 in New Delhi. Godse, a Hindu nationalist activist from Pune, Maharashtra who resented what he considered was Gandhi's partiality to India's Muslims, plotted the assassination with Narayan Apte and six others. After a trial that lasted over a year, Godse was sentenced to death on 8 November 1949. Although pleas for commutation were made by India's prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and by Gandhi's two sons on the grounds that a death sentence would dishonour the legacy of a man opposed to all forms of violence, Godse was hanged a week later.
Godse approached Gandhi on January 30, 1948 during the evening prayer. When he bowed, one of the girls flanking and supporting Gandhi, Abha Chattopadhyay, said to him, "Brother, Bapu is already late" and tried to put him off but he pushed her aside and shot Gandhi in the chest three times at point-blank range with a Beretta M 1934 semi-automatic pistol. Gandhi died almost immediately. Godse himself shouted 'POLICE' and surrendered himself.
