The Assassination of Mahatma Gandhi

On 30 January 1948, Gandhi was shot and killed while having his nightly public walk on the grounds of the Birla Bhavan (Birla House) in New Delhi. The assassin, Nathuram Godse, was a Hindu radical with links to the extremist Hindu Mahasabha, who held Gandhi responsible for weakening India by insisting upon a payment to Pakistan. Godse and his co-conspirator Narayan Apte were later tried and convicted; they were executed on 15 November 1949. Gandhi's memorial (or Samādhi) at Rāj Ghāt, New Delhi, bears the epigraph "Hē Ram", which may be translated as "Oh God". These are widely believed to be Gandhi's last words after he was shot, though the veracity of this statement has been disputed.

@missinghome456 But Ghandi was a Hindu? Why would he want it to be an Islamic Republic?

[missinghome456]

@jerzy862 A lot. Gandhi was the creator of pakistan. If gandhi had his way, India would be an islamic republic by now. Google nathuram godse speech to understand the perspective of killer of gandhi
