As we all know that India was granted independence on 15th August, 1947 and paritioned into India and Pakistan.But rioting between Hindus and Muslims followed.Gandhi had been an advocate for a united India where Hindus and Muslims lived together in peace.

On January 13, 1948, at the age of 78, he began a fast with the purpose of stopping the bloodshed.After 5 days the opposing leaders pledged to stop the fighting and Gandhi broke his fast.Twelve days later a Hindu fanatic, Nathuram Godse who opposed his programme of tolerence for all creeds and religion asassinated him.
