1.Who killed Mahatma Gandhi and why?
Answers
Answer:
Nathuram Godse.
Explanation:
In an effort to end India's religious strife, he resorted to fasts and visits to the troubled areas. He was on one such vigil in New Delhi when Nathuram Godse, a Hindu extremist who objected to Gandhi's tolerance for the Muslims, fatally shot him.
Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on 30 January 1948 in the compound of Birla House, a large mansion in New Delhi. His assassin was Nathuram Godse, an advocate of Hindu nationalism, a member of the political party the Hindu Mahasabha, and a member of the Hindu nationalist volunteer organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Godse considered Gandhi to have been too accommodating to Muslims during the Partition of India of the previous year. Sometime after 5 p.m., according to witnesses, Gandhi had reached the top of the steps leading to the raised lawn behind Birla House where he had been conducting multi-faith prayer meetings every evening. As Gandhi began to walk toward the dais, Godse stepped out from the crowd flanking Gandhi's path, and fired three bullets into Gandhi's chest and abdomen at point-blank range. Gandhi fell to the ground. He was carried back to his room in Birla House from which a representative emerged sometime later to announce his death
