How We Killed the Mahatma
In official history, Gandhi died once on January 30, 1948, but the Mahatmaâs soul has been murdered repeatedly by the callousness of the republic.

Today marks the 73rd death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Observed as Martyrsâ day and a day of national mourning, it was on this day that Gandhiji fell prey to the bullets of a Hindu extremist named Nathuram Godse.
While there will be a ceremonial show of mourning by the state at Gandhi Samadhi in Rajghat, the tragic reality is that contemporary India worships Gandhiâs assassin and assassinates the character of the father of the nation.
