Reason Behind Gandhi s Assassination Book PDF Summary
As the frequent description of Nathuram Godse as a “Hindu extremist”, people who are less careful with logic assume that his analysis of Gandhi’s politics must also be an extremist view, shared only by other extremists and perhaps a few more harmless eccentrics. On many points, however, Godse merely articulated the majority view among freedom fighters, among Hindus at large and even among mankind in general. His insistence on the need for military capability to deter or repel aggressors is shared by political leaders in every country. His criticism of Gandhi’s autocratic and whimsical leadership was voiced by many inside the Congress movement. His skepticism of the Mahatma’s mixing of spirituality and politics was shared by many Hindus rooted in their tradition, including active practitioners of either politics or the spiritual path. His scathing verdict of Gandhiji as the “father of Pakistan” was certainly a minority view, but one shared till today by numerous Hindus and Sikhs who had trusted the Mahatma’s assurances (“Partition over my dead body”) yet found themselves forced to flee from their homes in what had become Pakistan. Yet, none of the millions of people who agreed with Godse on some or on all points of his critique, deduced from their sobre and demythologized analysis that murder was the solution. There is no necessary relation between criticism and murder. It is an old rhetorical trick of despots to associate criticism of their regime with disorder and crime. Given the despotic nature of the “secularism” imposed on India by a self-alienated elite group, no one will be surprised to notice that criticism of Gandhi’s policy of “Muslim appeasement” is routinely criminalized by vocal “secularists”, typically with reference to Godse’s crime. What remains of Nathuram Godse is the statement he gave in his own defence during the trial, on 8 November 1948. After the statement was read in court, its publication was prohibited. However, after the release of Godse’s accomplices from prison in the 1960s, translations in Indian languages started appearing, and in 1977, Nathuram s brother Gopal published the English original under the cautious title May It Please Your Honour. A new edition, with a long epilogue by Gopal on the background and the events in prison, was published in 1993 under the more revealing title Why I Assassinated Mahatma Gandhi. The Hindu Mahasabha has merely published the speech itself, and some eye-witnesses have laid down in writing their memories of the atmosphere in court when Godse spoke. Justice Gopal Das Khosla, one of Godse’s judges, and whose sympathies were certainly not with “Hindu communalism”, has left us this impression: “The audience was visibly and audibly moved. There was a deep silence when he ceased speaking. Many women were in tears and men were coughing and searching for their handkerchiefs... I have, however, no doubt that had the audience on that day been constituted into a jury and entrusted with the task of deciding Godse’s appeal, they would have brought in a verdict of not guilty by an overwhelming majority.”
