Nayagan kamala hassen film in which there is a dialogue:  NAAN NALLAVANA
KETTAVANA TERIYALLIYE. All are not hypocrite sir. One who stay back, one
who acts against, one who feels hurt. one who thinks his supramacy alone
are hypocrites. One who talks with gullible-treahery (NEE MALLAYIRUPPE
ASEERVADHAM STYLE) is a villain pure. One who openely writes and speaks iss
never a hypocrite. So why nathuram shot Gandhi spoken in the court ?
This statement by Nathuram was published by Gopal Godse in a Marathi book
titled *Gandhi Hatya Ani Mi* or “Gandhi’s Murder and I” subsequent to his
release from jail. Before its publication as a book, the statement had
already been serialised in a Marathi magazine called *Painjan*. On 6
December 1967, its publication was banned.

Gopal Godse filed a writ against the ban in the Bombay High Court and a
three-judge bench in its verdict on 6 August 1989 lifted the ban. Not only
has this book continued to be published, but versions with different names
and all kinds of alterations are also widely publicised and sold. To cite
an example, a “Bhagat Singh Vichar Manch” published a version in 2019
titled *Maine Gandhi Vadh Kyon Kiya* (“Why I Killed Gandhi”). The book,
apart from Nathuram’s statement in the court, contains “glimpses” of his
supposed correspondence (whose sources cannot be verified) and a separate
section to demonstrate the innocence of Savarkar in the matter. This
particular section, aside from several unverified instances, broadly
repeats the facts as put out by Malgonkar. Interestingly, the high praise
of Savarkar here has inadvertently verified the allegation that he used to
cross-check the statements made by Godse. The anonymous editor writes:

“Nathuram himself wrote what he had to say in Marathi which later would be
translated into English. Nathuram had a wish that Savarkar would contribute
some parts. Savarkar ji would reply – I do not need to write anything on
your behalf. Show me what you write and if need be, I shall suggest
changes.” he editor, letting his imagination run riot, has concluded that
Godse could not speak English, when in fact all his statements to the court
are in English. The version published by Hind Pocket Books, titled *Gandhi
Vadh Kyon* (“Why the Gandhi Murder”) could be considered the most
authentic. This version is copyrighted by Gopal Godse and I have used the
same for the basis of my arguments. There is another version, published
under the same title by Rashtrahitaishi Prakashan, Chennai.

Why I killed Gaandhi? "In fact, honour, duty and love of one’s own kith and
kin and country might often compel us to disregard nonviolence
and to use force. I could never conceive that an
armed resistance to an aggression is unjust. I would consider
it a religious and moral duty to resist and, if possible, to
overpower such an enemy by use of force [In the Ramayana].
[In the Mahabharata] Rama killed Ravana in a tumultuous
fight and relieved Sita.
Krishna killed Kansa to end his wickedness; and Arjuna
had to fight and slay quite a number of his friends and relations
including the revered Bhishma because the latter
was on the side of the aggressor. It is my firm belief that in
dubbing Rama, Krishna and Arjuna as guilty of violence, the
Mahatma betrayed a total ignorance of the springs of human
action.
In more recent history, it was the heroic fight put up
by Chhatrapati Shivaji that first checked and eventually destroyed
the Muslim tyranny in India. It was absolutely essentially
for Shivaji to overpower and kill an aggressive Afzal
Khan, failing which he would have lost his own life. In
condemning history’s towering warriors like Shivaji, Rana
Pratap and Guru Gobind Singh as misguided patriots, Gandhiji
has merely exposed his self-conceit. He was, paradoxical
as it may appear, a violent pacifist who brought untold
calamities on the country in the name of truth and nonviolence,
while Rana Pratap, Shivaji and the Guru will remain
enshrined in the hearts of their countrymen forever for
the freedom they brought to them.

WHY I KILLED GANDHI
The accumulating provocation of thirty-two years, culminating
in his last pro-Muslim fast, at last goaded me to the
conclusion that the existence of Gandhi should be brought
to an end immediately. Gandhi had done very good in South
Africa to uphold the rights and well-being of the Indian community
there. But when he finally returned to India he developed
a subjective mentality under which he alone was to
be the final judge of what was right or wrong. If the country
wanted his leadership, it had to accept his infallibility; if it
did not, he would stand aloof from the Congress and carry
on his own way.
Against such an attitude there can be no halfway house.
Either Congress had to surrender its will to his and had to
be content with playing second fiddle to all his eccentricity,
whimsicality, metaphysics and primitive vision, or it had
to carry on without him. He alone was the Judge of everyone
and everything; he was the master brain guiding the
civil disobedience movement; no other could know the technique
of that movement. He alone knew when to begin and
when to withdraw it. The movement might succeed or fail,
it might bring untold disaster and political reverses but that
could make no difference to the Mahatma’s infallibility. ‘A
Satyagrahi can never fail’ was his formula for declaring his
own infallibility and nobody except himself knew what a
Satyagrahi is. Thus, the Mahatma became the judge and jury
in his own cause. These childish insanities and obstinacies,
coupled with a most severe austerity of life, ceaseless work
and lofty character made Gandhi formidable and irresistible.
Many people thought that his politics were irrational
6
WHY I KILLED GANDHI
but they had either to withdraw from the Congress or place
their intelligence at his feet to do with as he liked. In a position
of such absolute irresponsibility Gandhi was guilty
of blunder after blunder, failure after failure, disaster after
disaster. Gandhi’s pro-Muslim policy is blatantly in his perverse
attitude on the question of the national language of
India. It is quite obvious that Hindi has the most prior claim
to be accepted as the premier language. In the beginning
of his career in India, Gandhi gave a great impetus to Hindi
but as he found that the Muslims did not like it, he became a
champion of what is called Hindustani. Everybody in India
knows that there is no language called Hindustani; it has
no grammar; it has no vocabulary. It is a mere dialect, it is
spoken, but not written. It is a bastard tongue and crossbreed
between Hindi and Urdu, and not even the Mahatma’s
sophistry could make it popular. But in his desire to please
the Muslims he insisted that Hindustani alone should be the
national language of India. His blind followers, of course,
supported him and the so-called hybrid language began to
be used. The charm and purity of the Hindi language was
to be prostituted to please the Muslims. All his experiments
were at the expense of the Hindus.
>From August 1946 onwards the private armies of the
Muslim League began a massacre of the Hindus. The then
Viceroy, Lord Wavell, though distressed at what was happening,
would not use his powers under the Government
of India Act of 1935 to prevent the rape, murder and arson.
The Hindu blood began to flow from Bengal to Karachi with
some retaliation by the Hindus. The Interim Government
7
WHY I KILLED GANDHI
formed in September was sabotaged by its Muslim League
members right from its inception, but the more they became
disloyal and treasonable to the government of which they
were a part, the greater was Gandhi’s infatuation for them.
Lord Wavell had to resign as he could not bring about a settlement
and he was succeeded by Lord Mountbatten. King
Log was followed by King Stork. The Congress which had
boasted of its nationalism and socialism secretly accepted
Pakistan literally at the point of the bayonet and abjectly
surrendered to Jinnah. India was vivisected and one-third of
the Indian territory became foreign land to us from August
15, 1947.
Lord Mountbatten came to be described in Congress
circles as the greatest Viceroy and Governor-General this
country ever had. The official date for handing over power
was fixed for June 30, 1948, but Mountbatten with his ruthless
surgery gave us a gift of vivisected India ten months
in advance. This is what Gandhi had achieved after thirty
years of undisputed dictatorship and this is what Congress
party calls ‘freedom’ and ‘peaceful transfer of power’. The
Hindu–Muslim unity bubble was finally burst and a theocratic
state was established with the consent of Nehru and
his crowd and they have called ‘freedom won by them with
sacrifice’ – whose sacrifice? When top leaders of Congress,
with the consent of Gandhi, divided and tore the country –
which we consider a deity of worship – my mind was filled
with direful anger.
One of the conditions imposed by Gandhi for his breaking
of the fast unto death related to the mosques in Delhi

WHY I KILLED GANDHI
occupied by the Hindu refugees. But when Hindus in Pakistan
were subjected to violent attacks he did not so much
as utter a single word to protest and censure the Pakistan
Government or the Muslims concerned. Gandhi was shrewd
enough to know that while undertaking a fast unto death,
had he imposed for its break some condition on the Muslims
in Pakistan, there would have been found hardly any
Muslims who could have shown some grief if the fast had
ended in his death. It was for this reason that he purposely
avoided imposing any condition on the Muslims. He was
fully aware of from the experience that Jinnah was not at all
perturbed or influenced by his fast and the Muslim League
hardly attached any value to the inner voice of Gandhi.
Gandhi is being referred to as the Father of the Nation.
But if that is so, he had failed his paternal duty inasmuch as
he has acted very treacherously to the nation by his consenting
to the partitioning of it. I stoutly maintain that Gandhi
has failed in his duty. He has proved to be the Father of Pakistan.
His inner-voice, his spiritual power and his doctrine
of non-violence of which so much is made of, all crumbled
before Jinnah’s iron will and proved to be powerless. Briefly
speaking, I thought to myself and foresaw I shall be totally
ruined, and the only thing I could expect from the people
would be nothing but hatred and that I shall have lost all
my honour, even more valuable than my life, if I were to kill
Gandhiji. But at the same time I felt that the Indian politics
in the absence of Gandhiji would surely be proved practical,
able to retaliate, and would be powerful with armed forces.
No doubt, my own future would be totally ruined, but the
9
WHY I KILLED GANDHI
nation would be saved from the inroads of Pakistan. People
may even call me and dub me as devoid of any sense or
foolish, but the nation would be free to follow the course
founded on the reason which I consider to be necessary for
sound nation-building.
After having fully considered the question, I took the
final decision in the matter, but I did not speak about it to
anyone whatsoever. I took courage in both my hands and I
did fire the shots at Gandhiji on 30th January 1948, on the
prayer-grounds of Birla House. I do say that my shots were
fired at the person whose policy and action had brought rack
and ruin and destruction to millions of Hindus. There was no
legal machinery by which such an offender could be brought
to book and for this reason I fired those fatal shots. I bear no
ill will towards anyone individually but I do say that I had
no respect for the present government owing to their policy
which was unfairly favourable towards the Muslims. But at
the same time I could clearly see that the policy was entirely
due to the presence of Gandhi.
I have to say with great regret that Prime Minister Nehru
quite forgets that his preaching’s and deeds are at times
at variances with each other when he talks about India as
a secular state in season and out of season, because it is
significant to note that Nehru has played a leading role in
the establishment of the theocratic state of Pakistan, and
his job was made easier by Gandhi’s persistent policy of
appeasement towards the Muslims. I now stand before the
court to accept the full share of my responsibility for what I
have done and the judge would, of course, pass against me
10
WHY I KILLED GANDHI
such orders of sentence as may be considered proper. But I
would like to add that I do not desire any mercy to be shown
to me, nor do I wish that anyone else should beg for mercy
on my behalf. My confidence about the moral side of my
action has not been shaken even by the criticism levelled
against it on all sides. I have no doubt that honest writers
of history will weigh my act and find the true value thereof
some day in future.

In the court he said."In his court deposition, Godse said, "*I thought to
myself and foresaw I shall be totally ruined, and the only thing I could
expect from the people would be nothing but hatred ... if I were to kill
Gandhiji. But at the same time I felt that the Indian politics in the
absence of Gandhiji would surely be proved practical, able to retaliate,
and would be powerful with armed forces. No doubt, my own future would be
totally ruined, but the nation would be saved from the inroads of
Pakistan.'"*

*The cat is already out of te bag. Killing Gandhi is not pardonable. But if
killers can reep pleasure for 25 yrs in Raiv killing, why Nathuram was
hanged?  KR  IRS  30124*
