Why I Killed Gandhi? English - Mahatma Gandhi Assassination | Maine Gandhi Ko Kyon Mara? Indian History Book in English

Never knew this side of him! Must read for anyone tired of mainstream narrative about him.

The book is inspiring. I could understand the emotions of the man while reading it. Content is really good. But the book (or e-book version which I read in Kindle unlimited) could do with efficient proof reading, proper use of punctuations and pruning ridiculous spelling mistakes which any lay reader can find out yet not been done by those who published the book.

Good

Most of us have been taught a single sided version of history, one in which Gandhi was the angel and those who opposed him were devils, whether Indian or British. That Godse killed Gandhi simply because of ideological differences. This book, recording Godse’s final statement before being hanged, tellingly reveals a deeper perspective, and points to the fact that the version of history we have been given to imbibe may be flawed or incomplete. One hopes future generations will be given a more complete and balanced presentation by being shown both sides of the picture - including due coverage of Godse’s statement in history text books.

One thing kindly think and reply " How can you justify of killing ? If any wrongly he done ,. How is it solution of murder of Gandhi

At first I didn't know what to expect from this book other than godse's reasons for assassinating gandhi, but this book provides way more than that. It talks about the reality of Indian independence struggles and the reasons for why the parties are operating the way they're operating today. Truly inspiring and a great book to understand the freedom struggle of india.

This is so pathetic book that you will start pulling your hairs just after going through 30-40 pages. This is not because of the content of this book but because of the editing…..there are so… so many grammer, punctuation and sentence formation errors that sometimes a simple start goes through so many punctuations that it ends in a whole paragraph….and still in the end it doesnt make any sense. What i felt is the content of this much importance should be given some respect and before printing the book there should be a proof reading. I really wanted to read the book so I am going to buy this book in HINDI hoping that may be… that will make some sense.

I like this product

He did not ask for mercy. I agree with his statement about non violence, Gandhi preached a lie about non violence because I lot of violence was created due to him.

It’s just a 3 page summary of his statement rest all pages are blank. I paid AED 66/- for 3 page reading😠

I knew for the first time that he was assassinated, and I didn't know much about Gandhi so I was interested in it.

Gandhi’s attitude was My way or the Highway…Indians acquire this attitude as a result of some success overseas…if a successful Indian goes back home, he behaves like he’s visiting a tacky rural village and treats the natives as such…this is a kind of colonial attitude but by a fellow Indian…Gandhi exhibited this attitude only in his approach to national policy issues…personally he was second to none in his simplicity and frugality…this being a main reason why he was at the top…because he had the trust of all Indians - wealthy and common…even today in 2021 few can criticize him and survive in public life…he’s treated almost Godly in certain political aspects simply because the leaders can’t seem to break his strangle hold on the thought process of how India should be and conduct herself in the League of Nations… The Congress Party men then and today and many other Indian politicians fully disagree with Gandhi but for the outside world they’ll continue to behave like he was correct and above all criticism - simply because they can’t measure up to his level of public austerity and incorruptibility…so he continues to be Godly in India even today…in brief Gandhi is having this Christlike fame in the world because of his personal sacrifices… Another spoiler for India was both Muslim League and Gandhi didn’t believe in parliamentary democracy wherein the representatives gain upper hand by the strength of their just and logical arguments and prevail upon other members and the nation to formulate policies…instead they believed in street power and both were competing with and wary of each other…on one side was the League, a political party based on religious Islamic ideology and on the other side was an old man with a stick…both taking on each other on the streets of India…and Hindus had no other choice but to go with the old man at least for the current time… Unfortunately even today in 2021, India hasn’t been able to exorcise the ghost of Gandhi from it’s polity…street power can still bring a popularly elected government to its knees and force reversal of beneficial policies and replace them with draconian ones benefiting a few…Hindus even though a majority, continue to at the receiving end most times…India is the only country where a majority community has to beg the government for its rights…

This is the kind of book/review/subject that warrants a 100, no a 1000 disclaimers, but I am going to offer none. Mostly because I don't even know where to begin with the disclaimers on this one. What do I even say? Especially when I am so conflicted on how I feel about the assassination, which is at the core of this book. So here's what I'll do - I'll just share my own thoughts on the book & leave it to you guys to decide whether or not to read this one. However, just to be clear, at-least on that front, my recommendation is clear: read this book. Not because it's pro or against anyone or any ideology. And certainly not because I condone Godse's act (because I don't, that's the root cause of my internal conflict). Read this book because it will give you insight into the mind of the man who killed Gandhi, his thought process & his reasons. Especially read it, because it highlights a side of Indian history that has been intentionally erased from textbooks, all to promote the brand & idea of Gandhi. Which truth be told, is not all propaganda. Because Gandhi did do some truly great work, if nothing else, then he must be applauded for sustaining a mass movement for freedom and standing up for a lot of noble values. But then again to highlight only one side of the man & his movement while disregarding the other, is to settle for a half truth instead of the complete history, which is not that straightforward, but complicated, messy and downright unpleasant. And that's why I say read this book, use your judgement & make up your own mind on how you feel about the book, the man (both the men in-fact) & the assassination. But do read it.
