Nathu Ram Vinayak Godse is better known as the man who assassinated the Mahatma. Nathu Ram Vinayak Godse was a young extremist. He was a nationalist and was a right hand of Hindu Mahasabha. Hindu Mahasabha stood aside Gandhi and Indian National Congress for the cause of Indian independence. Bu the later activities made by Gandhiji made them to act against him, causing the assassination of our National Father. When the three bullets from .38 Beretta semi-automatic pistol were hitting the body of Mahatma, the country had given a place to the young extremist-it's none other than a hell. Why Godse Assassinated Mahatma Gandhi
Hindu Mahasabha and of course Godse were not happy with Gandhi's action after the independence. They began to feel that Gandhiji is supporting Muslims at a greater extent. They began to feel that Gandhiji was against Hindu interests as he was trying to help Muslim people at any cost. Assassination attempts were made on Gandhi before 30th January 1948 also. In fact, there are five of their kinds before. Godse was in the front end in two of these attempts. There are still few who believe that Nathuram was not a murderer, but a patriotic martyr. The reasons are:
1. Hindu Mahasabha believed that Gandhi supported for the separate state for Muslims hence leading to the partition of the great country.
2. Partition of India made many people without any hope of future and it made people homeless. Lot of people was died after the day of Independence both in India and Pakistan. Godse and his people believed that Gandhiji's support of partition lead to all these deaths.
3. Gandhiji stood for Pakistani side for giving them an amount of Rs. 55 million. Although 550 million transfers to Pakistan government was written in the partition agreement, but Pakistan occupation of Kashmir was also prohibited. Since Pakistan started to rebel for the Kashmir state, Indian Government decided not to give the money to Pakistan. On this background, Gandhiji decided to fast to the death on January 13, 1948 until the Government of India transfer the same to Pakistan. This act of Gandhiji made Indian Government to transfer fund to Pakistan.This is believed to be the immediate cause of Gandhiji's assassination by the extremist Godse.Godse's Death and execution
The 39 year old man said that he killed Gandhi on his own reasons. But there were many people who believed that Godse was pawns to RSS higher ups. He was mentally unbalanced and manipulated by others on this interest. The religious interest made him blind. Then Prime Minister of India- Jawaharlal Nehru and Gandhiji's two sons were against the execution of Godse as this will dishonor the great soul after his death. Godsey's legal team failed to provide sufficient evidence saying that the man was in unbalanced state. The court didn't hear the words of Nehru nor Gandhiji's sons and the chapter of Nathu Ram Vinayak Godse ended on November 8, 1949 at Ambala Prison, Haryana, India.

Nathu Ram Vinayak Godse's last wish was the reunion of India and Pakistan. He wanted his ashes to be immersed in River Indus (now in Pakistan). Indus would be in India when Pakistan and India reunite. The sad part of his last wishes is that they still remain unfulfilled and it will remain so now and ever.Books on Reasons behind Godse's Motivation to Assassinate Mahatma Gandhi
