Answer 1

The central government had taken a decision - Pakistan will not be given Rs 55 crores. On January 13 Gandhi started a fast unto death that Pakistan must be given the money. On January 13, the central government changed its earlier decision and announced that Pakistan would be given the amount. On January 13, Nathuram decided to assassinate Gandhi.

Answer 2

The assassin, Nathuram Godse, was a social reformer , and a freedom fighter, erroneously perceived as a Hindu nationalist by the media. He killed Gandhi because , Gandhi in his zeal to look "fair, secular and equal" to the world actually actually cowed down under Islamic Fundamentalist pressure and compromised the interests of 30 million Hindus , that eventually led to their massive genocide. In today's context the parallel to this would be something like this. Islamic Fundamentalists wowing to destroy the West and Israel, carry out 9/11. As a response to that The President instead of ordering airstrikes in Pakistan / Afghanistan actually actually says "sorry" to the terrorists and announces a special state called "Islamabad" in USA specially for Moslems where Sharia Law would be allowed. He appeals to the local Christian population that initially occupied that land to evacuate the place to make "place for our moslem brothers". Some people can't stand it and shoot him down. This is just an imaginary situation. No disrespect for The President. We know out President GWB was anything but that but that would be a perfect comparison to help understand Godse's position.
Refer to the the following lines from Godse's own testimony ( available uncensored in Google Docs) that help expound the situation that led Godse to kill Gandhi :-

" From August 1946 onwards, the private armies of the Muslim League began a massacre of Hindus. The then Viceroy, Lord Wavell, though distressed at what was happening, would not use his powers under the Government of India Act of 1935 to prevent the rape, murder and arson. The Hindu blood began to flow from Bengal to Karachi with little retaliation by the Hindus. The Interim Government formed in September was sabotaged by its Muslim League members right from its inception, but the more they became disloyal and treasonable to the government of which they were a part, the greater was Gandhi's infatuation for them. .............

One of the conditions imposed by Gandhi for his breaking of the fast related to the mosques in Delhi occupied by the Hindu refugees. But when Hindus in Pakistan were subjected to violent attacks he did not so much as utter a single word to protest and censure the Pakistan Government or the Muslims concerned. Gandhi was shrewd enough to know that while undertaking a fast unto death, had he imposed some conditions on the Muslims in Pakistan, here would have been found hardly any Muslims who could have shown some grief if the fast had ended in his death. It was for this reason that he purposely avoided imposing any conditions on the Muslims.

He was fully aware from past experience that Jinnah was not at all perturbed or influenced by his fast and the Muslim League hardly attached any value to the inner voice of Gandhi. Gandhi is being referred to as the Father of the Nation. But if that is so, he has failed in his paternal duty in as much he has acted very treacherously to the nation by his consenting to the partitioning of it. I stoutly maintain that Gandhi has failed in his duty. He has proved to be the Father of Pakistan. His inner-voice, his spiritual power, his doctrine of non-violence of which so much is made of, all crumbled against Jinnah's iron will and proved to be powerless.

"

At the time of Gandhi's death, an Islamic Fundamentalist driven demand to investigate the role of Hindu Organizations in the death of Mr Gandhi was readily conceded by the then ruling party Indian National Congress ( which BTW across its 70+ year ruling span also became notorious for harboring the world largest Swiss Bank accounts and the dubious distinction of the most Corrupt Political Party in the globe ). So called "Hindu Fundamentalist" leaders were thrown in jail, tortured and made to falsely confess relations with Godse . A few months later after all investigations proved these claims baseless , they had to be released.

According to a 2003 interview with Gopal Vinayak Godse, the brother of Nathuram, as quoted in an article in the International Herald Tribune, "In the opinion of Godse and his small band of Hindu extremists, Gandhi's calls for nonviolence were part of a plot to allow Hindus to be slaughtered by Muslims." "We did not want this man to live," Gopal Godse said in the interview. "We did not want this man to die a natural death, even if 10 lives were to be lost for that purpose." International Herald Triburn-Online (2005, November 27), Obituary: Gopal Godse, 86, conspired to kill Gandhi. Retrieved May 18, 2008.

Following his assassination of Mohandas Gandhi, he was put on trial beginning May 27, 1948. During the trial, he did not defend any charge and openly admitted that he killed Gandhi after a long disposition on his reasons for assassinating Gandhi.[4] On November 8, 1949, Godse was sentenced to death. Godse's legal team was savaged by critics for not introducing considerable evidence that their client was mentally unbalanced and/or manipulated by others. Among those calling for commutation of the death sentence for the defendants were Jawaharlal Nehru, as well as Gandhi's two sons, who felt that the two men on trial were pawns of RSS higher-ups, and in any case, executing their father's killers would dishonor his memory and legacy which included a staunch opposition to the death penalty. Godse was hanged at Ambala Jail on November 15, 1949,[5] along with Narayan Apte, the other conspirator. Savarkar was also charged with conspiracy in the assassination of Gandhi, but was acquitted and subsequently released. Godse stipulated that his ashes were not to be deposited in a body of water according to Hindu dictates, but rather were to be held in storage until they could be deposited in the Sindhuriver after Pakistan had been reunited with India.

Mohandas Gandhi What happened on January 30 1948?

this happened on January 30 1948: Mohandas Gandhi was shot dead by Nathuram Godse, a Hindu extremist. Godse believed that the Mahatma, or great soul, was responsible for the 1947 partition of India and the creation of Pakistan. Godse and his friend Narayan Apte were hanged. more information: nathuram godse had a magazine for nine bullets but there were actually seven at that time. And once you pull the trigger, within a second, all the seven bullets had passed. When these bullets pass through crucial points like the heart, consciousness is finished. You have no strength. When Nathuram saw Gandhi was coming, he took out the pistol and folded his hands with the pistol inside it. There was one girl very close to Gandhi. He feared that he would hurt the girl. So he went forward and with his left hand pushed her aside and shot. It happened within one second BY:DHRUVANSHI
