Quote Nathuram Godse , a Maharastrian Brahmin, was a staunch nationalist. Unquote
Nathuram Godse, "a staunch nationalist", scrupulously kept away from India's epic national liberation movement for freedom from the British colonial rule. And, his name is known only because he assassinated the tallest leader of Indian freedom movement widely acknowledged as the Father of the Nation and so anointed by none other than Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. That's the "nationalism" of Nathuram Godse and his apologists - an evil bunch of anti-India terrorists!
