By the Author

In the history of India we rarely come across the story of a person who died an untimely death, whose brother suffered a life of immense mental torture and a person whose family faced countless abuses and humiliations for no other cause other than the immense love for his motherland. This person is Nathuram Vinayakrao Godse, Indias most hated criminal.

On 30 th January 1948, at 5.17pm IST, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi , was shot dead as he was walking towards his prayer ground at the Birla House, New Delhi. His assassin, Nathuram Vinayak Godse, was arrested at the scene of the crime and sentenced to death by hanging after a trial that lasted for over a year.

Almost seven decades have passed since the Apostle of Peace was assassinated but, even today the story of his murder continues to attract widespread attention. It is also one of the most closely guarded secrets in Indian history.

The Government of India, dominated by the Gandhians, has used all its discretionary powers to suppress every bit of information pertaining to Gandhis murder and has made the people of India to believe in a cooked up theory that the motive behind the Mahatmas assassination was Hindu religious fanaticism.

Year after year, a number of mythical stories have been cooked up and narrated to the people as gospel truth. People are made to believe that the motive behind the murder of Gandhi was Hindu religious fanaticism and that his assassin was a Hindu fanatic who was opposed to the Mahatmas principles of Hindu-Muslim brotherhood.

For almost seventy years, various political organizations in India have effectively used this religious fanaticism theory to attack the Right Wing political organizations and derive maximum political mileage from the Mahatmas murder.

Although, several historians have raised questions over the authenticity of such allegations, the Indian government has never allowed anyone to uncover the real truth behind the Gandhi murder as it could lead to unearthing of new facts that could be a big embarrassment to the image of the Mahatma

This country, which calls itself the largest democracy in the world and boasts of Freedom of Expression for its citizens, has resorted to a total misuse of state machinery to ban every single book written on the life of Nathuram Godse.

Film makers are not allowed to make a bio-pic on his life. Any person, who challenges the religious fanaticism theory, is vilified and abused by the Indian media and the political class.

Dissenting views on the Mahatmas ideology have been censored by the government institutions. Even the Indian Judiciary has not taken cognizance of the right to Free Speech by people to express dissenting views on the religious fanaticism theory.

What is even more disturbing is the fact that, these acts are being committed by the Gandhians despite the Bombay High Court judgment in 1983, which states that the law cannot be misused against people carrying out historical research.

Thus, such acts by Indias political class prove that there is indeed another side of the Gandhi Murder story which has been remained untold and is prevented from reaching the people.

I have been studying the mystery behind the Mahatmas murder for a very long time and I have found no evidence whatsoever to say that this murder was an act of religious fanaticism.

In fact, Gandhis assassin Nathuram Godse did not indulge in any kind of communal violence or religious fanaticism and that too at a time when the country was going through extreme racial tensions.
