Side of Gandhi, the Mahatma. Mahatma yes, But For Whom !!!
Reasons
for killing Mahatma Gandhi:
During
the trial justice Khosla had allowed Nathuram Godse
the
killer of Gandhi to read his own confession in the court.
However
the Indian government had banned the propagation of confession of Nathuram.
Justice Khosla is on record to state that if Godse's statement was made public,
a majority of Indians would agree with him.
Nathuram's
brother Gopal Godse fought a 60 years legal battle
after
which the Supreme Court removed the ban.
Gopal Godse
Nathuram
had given 150 reasons for killing Gandhi;
some
of which are as follows:
1.
In 1919 people of India
wanted General
Dyer to be tried for
the
Massacre of innocent people at Jalianwalla Baugh .
Gandhi
refused to support this demand.
2.
Whole of India wanted Gandhi to intervene and save
Bhagat
Singh,Rajguru and Sukhdev from the Gallows.
Gandhi
stubbornly refused on the grounds
that
they were misguided freedom fighters,
and
theirs was an act of violence.
3.
On 6th May 1946 on public platform, Gandhi asked
Hindus to
sacrifice and not fight the members of Muslim league.
In
Kerala Muslim league members killed over 1500 Hindus and converted
2000
to Islam. Instead of protesting Gandhi expressed that it was a brave
act of
Allah's followers.
4.
On several occasions Gandhi called Shivaji, Maha Rana pratap
and Guru
Govind Singh as misguided nationalists.
5. Gandhi
advised Raja Harisingh of Kashmir to abdicate
as
Kashmir had Muslim majority ,and settle down in Kashi.
Raja
Harisingh
on
the other hand he supported the Nizam (Osman Ali Khan )
of
Hyderabad to join Pakistan , even though the state of Hyderabad
(Andhra
, Telangana ,Karnataka and Berar) had Hundu majority.
Nizam Osman
Ali Khan
Sardar
Vallabh bhai Patel however over ruled Gandhi .
When
Nehru heard of Patel's police action in Hyderabad
(operation
POLO) he disconnected his telephone with Patel.
Nizam
surrendering to Patel
6.
In 1931 the congress committee on designing of
Indian
flag suggested that the flag be only in saffron.
Gandhi
insisted changed it to a tri-colour flag.
7. During
the Tripura congress , Subhash Chandra Bose
was
elected as president with majority however Gandhi
supported Pattabhai
Sitaramayya forcing Bose to resign.
8.
On 15th June 1947 during congress conclave it was decided to
resist
the partition of India but Gandhi went to the meeting at the
last
minute and supported the partition.
Infact
it was Gandhi who had declared earlier that partition
will
take place only over my dead body.
Patel and Nehru
9. Sardar
Patel was elected by majority as the
first
Prime Minister but Gandhi insisted on Nehru .
10. Nehru
government had decided to reconstruct Somnath Mandir
at
its cost but Gandhi without even being a member of the ministry
forced
the Govt. to reject this proposal .
At
the same time on 13th January 1948 he went on a fast to
allow
Muslims to repair the mosque in Delhi at govt's cost.
11.
When Hindus refugees returned to India after partition,
some
of them took shelter in some mosques temporarily .
When
Muslims objected ,Gandhi forced all such Hindus children,
ladies
and the old to leave the mosque and live on the streets.
12.
In October 1947 Pakistan attacked Kashmir ,
Gandhi went
on a fast and forced the Indian Govt
to
pay Pakistan a compensation of Rs.55 crore.
Gandhi did
not mind hurting Hindu feelings
to win
over the Indian Muslims.
Nathuram
Godse and Narayan Apte
were
hanged on 15th November 1949
in
the Ambala Jail in Punjab.
