  Nathuram Godse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Godse had dropped out of high school and become a freedom fighter and activist with the Hindu Mahasabha, a party espousing extreme Hindu Nationalism in particular opposition to the separatist politics of the All India Muslim League.
Godse had initially backed Gandhi's campaigns of civil disobedience against the British government, but was disilluisioned after the Gandhi-Irwin Pact of 1931 and Gandhi's decision to attend the Round Table Conference in London.
Savarkar, Godse and his fellow Mahasabha activists were the most ferocious critics of Gandhi's efforts to make an agreement with Muhammad Ali Jinnah in 1942-44, and saw his actions and efforts on bridging the political divide with Jinnah and B.R. Ambedkar as pure appeasement and sacrifice of Hindu interests.

Basically, I think Godse wasted his anger on a tired, saintly old man who deserved to be left alone after being forced to watch his beloved India vivisected by Jinnah, Nehru and the British.
Even if Gandhi was not a great statesman or a great saint, he certainly tried hard to do the right thing and to always tune his sense for what the right thing was to do in the given circumstances.
Anyway, I was amazed when I read that Godse at his trial was allowed to read out a 90+ page treatise on his justification for killing Gandhi.

 M.K. Gandhi v/s Nathuram Godse
Godse's belief was sumed up in just few line in the play, "He may be a saint but he is not a politician.
My own impression of Nathuram Godse is that he was a very principled, patriotic and nationalistic Hindu who was deeply affected by the Partition and held Gandhi responsible for all the suffering the hindus went through.
The fact is that even though Godse was a patriot, he really spoiled his case by killing the old man...the old man would not have got such a super human status and he would probably had been know as just another politician...

And although Godse was entitled to his opinion and one can see where he was coming from shooting Gandhiji was never gonna solve anything.
When I made comment on open-mindedness, I referred to the people who will not tolerate anything or any thought process that departs from what they consider sacrosanct...and this opposition is at the cost of constitutional right of freedom of thought and speech.

I have no objection if one were to mention that Naturam Godse, the killer of M K Gandhi, was a Hindu.
Gopal Godse says that is so because, if released, it will generate sympathy for Nathuram Godse.
Gandhi was a great man, of many admirable qualities, but at one stage he must have decided to live upto the title of Mahatma, and his way of doing that was through Muslim appeasement, causing untold harm to the Hindus, and India in the long run.

Its pretty clear that this author feels that as her writings get worser with lot of expletives and also as long as her writings are against normal wisdom, the more hate messages she would get and that would make her sound even more authentic and that would give false publicity to her writings.
As far as this article goes,i would like to ask her whether she would dare to mail me and discuss about how good or bad Gandhi was,whether Godse was right or wrong and why Gandhi did the things which he did.
I would not like to waste my time writing a big message about what i think abt this article and how wrong this article is when i dont even know whether she would be reading it.

 Guardian | Horst Buchholz
Hollywood offered him little, and after the lumpen Fanny (1961), his next film after the classic western, he relished his role as the communist lover in Billy Wilder's satire on American consumerism, One, Two, Three (also 1961).
He then took on Nine Hours To Rama (1963), making a convincing character of Naturam Godse, the Hindu extremist determined that Gandhi should be assassinated.
This rather dull film launched a decade in which Buchholz starred mainly in dismal co-productions, including Marco, The Magnificent (1965), Cervantes (1966) and The Great Waltz (1972), in which his portrayal of Johann Strauss Jr was drowned in a welter of melody.

The undetermined status of Kashmir sewed the seeds of a conflict between India and Pakistan, which has led to three Indo-Pakistani wars — in 1948, 1965, and 1971 — and has engulfed Kashmir itself in violence for the past 50 years.
Even Mahatma Gandhi, the founder of modern India, became a victim of Hindu-Muslim animosity when he was assassinated on January 30, 1948, by a Hindu extremist, Naturam V. Godse, ostensibly because of his concessionary attitudes toward the Muslims.
Nevertheless, Nehru and his Congress Party tried to create an Indian society and state where sectarian, caste, and other parochial loyalties would be submerged by a broader secular Indian identity and nationalism.

A short-term initiative could be to help upgrade C3, command, control and communications, in both India and Pakistan so that an unintended accident or even a rogue initiative on either side does not take place.
With octogenarians in power in India like Vajpayee, Advani, Thakre, etc (all compatriots of Naturam Godse, the man who shot and killed Mahatma Gandhi for preaching compromise with Pakistan) proposing "limited war" as a possible option, such "accidents" are more likely to happen by design and intention rather than lack of it.
The military regime in power is quite unlikely to turn the other cheek.
