After 5 failed attempts Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was assassinated on the 30th of January 1948 while going to a prayer meeting. He was shot three times by a 0.38 Beretta on the chest and stomach from point blank range. His last words as recalled were "Raam-Raam"...
Gandhi's assassination was not just a mere ht target situation but a pre planned act thet took place between 8 random people of the same ideal taking the oath of assasinating Gandhi. Nathuram Godse was the murderer who carried out this operation with the help of his younger brother Gopal Godse. the reason behind the assassination was Gandhi's apeasement towards Muslim interests and his too peaceful teachings of extreme non-violence due to which the Hindu's would lose the will to fight. The main reason being the division of the sub-continent Motherland. Nathuram Godse was hanged to death on 15 November 1949 with Narayan Apte while his brother sentenced to 18 years of life imprisonment who after his release wrote several books behind his motivation to assassinate Gandhi.
Though we might have different opinions about Gandhi but through history Gandhi did support Jinnah for the freedom from the britishers which gave Jinnah the major push to finally create Pakistan.
