The Assassination
Gandhi was assassinated on January 30, 1948, by Nathuram Godse, a Hindu nationalist who believed that Gandhi was appeasing Muslims at the expense of Hindus. Godse fired three shots into Gandhi's chest at point-blank range, killing him instantly.
The Assassins
Godse was a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS),a Hindu nationalist organization that had been banned by the British government. He was motivated by a belief that Gandhi was a traitor to Hinduism and that he was responsible for the partition of India into India and Pakistan.
The Aftermath
