Indian freedom fighter Mahatma
Gandhi was assassinated on 30 January 1948. Why was Gandhi killed and what
events occurred before and after Gandhi's murder?
This documentary shows how
India was dogged by nationalism and religious conflict on its path to
independence - and how these factors mark the country to this day. On 20
January 1948, Gopal Godse, a Hindu fanatic, attempted to assassinate Mahatma
Gandhi. Ten days later, his brother Nathuram Godse managed to finish the job:
he killed Gandhi. For Gopal Godse, India's Independence Day in August 1947 was
a day of mourning. "Bharat Mata," "Mother India," which the
young Brahmin zealously worshipped, had lost many of its provinces.
Predominantly Muslim East Bengal had become East Pakistan, whilst western
Punjab, the provinces of Sindh and Baluchistan and the land of the warlike
Pashtuns made up West Pakistan a thousand miles away. This too was
predominantly Muslim. Godse didn’t just see the former colonial power, Great
Britain, as responsible for the "amputation," he also believed the
Muslims were to blame. But, in Godse’s eyes, the main culprit was a Hindu who
was celebrated as a hero because he had defied the English, a small man with
round wire glasses and a white cotton robe: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, also
known as "Mahatma," the great soul. The Godse brothers did not care
that Gandhi had always condemned conflict between the various religious
communities and opposed the partition of India. They were members of the
far-right Hindu Mahasabha, the "Great Assembly of Hindus," which had
close links with the anti-British and fascist National Volunteer Corps. And now
extremist Hindus are gaining ground in India again...

He’s the man who killed a
king. Oliver Cromwell, the English Puritan turned military dictator, is today
most famous for signing the death warrant that led to Charles I’s bloody
execution in 1649. Over a hundred years before the American and French
Revolutions shook the globe, this smalltime farmer from the British sticks
proved with steel that the divine right of kings was not so holy after all.

Correction:
@6:59 I referred to mercury as
a compound. Mercury is an element, not a compound. Clearly should have paid
more attention in chemistry class!

Amendment: @7:03 It's debated
who "discovered" America. The 400th anniversary of the World's
Columbian Exposition of 1893 marked Christopher Columbus' voyage to the Americas.

This is what people close say about me: “Misfit, Dreamer, Impractical, Champion of lost causes, Always Wrong” etc. etc. Maybe they are right, maybe not. What do I think of myself? I am trying to find out.
