Now that I know how some of you think <really?>, I would like to give you little glimpse on how I think (if you haven't already figured out? LOL

). Name is Aarya (as some of you already know!), am a strategist by profession, for which you can guess that I don't do things with out planning or purpose. The earlier topics created by me were merely a base to understand on how everyone processes such topics! As you can see I have a thirst for controversies, for which I am on the fence about everything! Wink

So now that we are familiar with each other, and thank you for the warm welcome in the DM!, let the real debate begin...

Let's take a little stroll in the history lane... shall we?
Assassination of Mohandas Gandhi, did he deserve it? Was Godse on the right path?

Hi Aarya, welcome once again!

am a strategist by profession, for which you can guess that I don't do things with out planning or purpose. The earlier topics created by me were merely a base to understand on how everyone processes such topics!

Interesting! Would love to see your startegy unfold

As you can see I have a thirst for controversies,

So does almost every DMer

for which I am on the fence about everything! Wink

hmm..the real fun of any controversy would be to get mired in one! Only Narad Muni would enjoy a controversy sitting on the fence

Get down from the fence once in a while to get the real taste and fun of a controversy

and the thirst may get quenched forever

So now that we are familiar with each other, and thank you for the warm welcome in the DM!, let the real debate begin...

Now that we are done with the familiarising lets begin with the real debate. As a warm up why the topic of Gandhiji's assasination ? No doubt its a great topic, Aarya

but why have you termed it as a real debate ? It is history and no amount of debating is going to change that fact. IMO to qualify as a real debate the topic ought to be based on something relevant to the present and purposeful. Or perhaps the strategist in you has a plan to steer the topic in that direction

I don't think anything can ever justify killing.The world was, is and will always be like this. There will never be peace around...

P.S. - I running away after this before you figure out that my history is very poor :P

This is not about killing the innocence, instead about why do you think Godse felt Gandhi needed to be assassinated!

Dol, you can run but not hide, cause this is where we all belong. :)

but why have you termed it as a real debate ? It is history and no amount of debating is going to change that fact. IMO to qualify as a real debate the topic ought to be based on something relevant to the present and purposeful. Or perhaps the strategist in you has a plan to steer the topic in that direction LOL

The warm up topics were Privacy, IQ, Plagiarism, Communism... aren't those the topics everyone talks about! A real debate to me is where I have the ability to play from either position with equal ease, in short you will now see me jumping off the fence! LOL

Lets see where this leads us, maybe even 50 years into the future. :)

So should we start, what is your take on my question?

Angie has a point -

Its history and nothing is going to change the fact.

The only fact here which is non-debatable is Gandhi was assassinated by Godse.

Godse's reasons for assassination of Gandhi were given out during his testimony. The Congress also implicated the fact that the entire operation was part of RSS's bigger agenda along with Hindu Mahasabha (I am not sure if that's the right name) which had Godse and Apte as the faces that represented the unrest which had settled amongst old school Hindus. Of course RSS denies all this.

But, here is the thing.

Godse was not the only one to kill Gandhi. He pulled the trigger of .38, yes. But the conspiracy and the planning to do so was done by a group of men. Along with Godse, Apte was also convicted of Mahatma's assassination.

Here is a book which according to author has picked up details from the exact sources - diaries of Godse, Apte, Godse's family and friends. I do not know if everything in this book is real or not. I don't know what's the truth given how there are way too many variants of the same incident. Given how political the entire deal was, no one really knows what is the truth anyway.

Aftermath of assassination showed an aspect of free India which was never seen before - the political stronghold the freedom fighter groups had turned out to be.

I think Godse's testimony is available (which is disputed by people that it has been tampered by the scribe). It makes an...interesting read.

I can see your strategy coming up with new debatable topic but how much we debate we cant clarify few conspiracies theories of history just put that according to our belief and understanding.

My answer will lies in my question. Was Gandhi right in going with his Pact with Lord Irwin and allowed execution of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev. I am not supporter of Mr. Gandhi you know that. I can state few of my points which are real controversial ones. I think Nathuram Godse stated his belief in his book, and few of his points were too controversial to state on open forum.

'Its history and nothing is going to change the fact.'... true, but it's the present and future which is and will suffer from the past! So, if an event occurred yesterday should it be restricted from today!

Now that I am going to take a stand <help me GOD! LOL

>, I am on the side of Godse as Gandhi systematically fooled the people by saying he will never accept the partition of the country over his dead body, but still the partitioned happened, and thus living in war for many decades and more to come.

Godse had no personal grudges over Gandhi, instead he was fighting for a cause which believed in United India and thus no religions segregation or partition. Godse truly respected Gandhi theory on non-violence but this theory denies self-defence and self-interest. The non-violence that defines the fight for survival as violence is a theory not of non-violence but of self-destruction. Was the decision on partition necessary? To me no individual is greater than a nation!
