The father of India was shot by Nathuram Godse on the 31st of January at 5:12 pm. This is what our textbooks taught us. But there were several elements of this assassination that a lot of us do not know. Mahatma Gandhi had wanted to dissolve the entire Congress after India gained its independence. And Godse said that he had fired only 2 bullets.
So why were there 4 bullets on Gandhi’s body? Why was no postmortem was conducted on the father of the nation? Why, if the hospital was only 4 kilometers away, was no hasty action taken to move Gandhi to the hospital? And why was the trial so hasty when even Gandhi’s son did not want Godse executed?
