Description

INTRODUCTION In January 1948, shortly after India gained its Independence from Great Britain, the world was shocked by the assassination of one of the world's great peace builders, Mahatma Gandhi. His assassin, Nathuram Godse, a Brahmin member of the Hindu Mahasabha (founded 1915), believed that Gandhi was not a "good Hindu" because "he consistently insulted the Hindu nation and had weakened it by his doctrine of ahimsa (non-violence)." (1) As Godse's brother insisted, "We wanted to show the Indians that there were Indians who would not suffer humiliation--that there were still men left among the Hindus." (2) The Godse brothers had been trained by the RSS, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, an organization founded in Nagpur in 1925 by Dr. Keshar Baliram Hegevar to "regenerate" the Hindu nation.
