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.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (often called Mahatma Gandhi) was assassinated on 30 January 1948, shot at point-blank range by Nathuram Godse. Since 1934, there had been five unsuccessful attempts to kill Gandhi. Gandhi was outside on the steps of a building where a prayer meeting was going to take place. He was surrounded by a part of his family and some followers when three gunshots killed him.
