Truth, courage, patriotism, emotions and the nation come together in this simmering narrative.Nathuram Godse assassinated Mahatma Gandhi as he walked towards the prayer grounds at the Birla House in New Delhi. Godse had attempted the attack twice earlier, but failed. After the third attempt, which led to Gandhi's death, he was arrested at the crime scene and sentenced to death after a year-long trial.Thus began a crucial debate over the assassination, with people mourning Gandhi's death on the one hand and standing with Godse on the other. The long trial unraveled the pain of the Partition and the poverty of the people who were struggling to start life afresh.Laying bare the thoughts of the common people and those in power alike, Why I Killed Gandhi is Godse's confession on why he took the drastic step and the events leading up to it.
