Since Gorakhpur is in news...
There is a rather lesser known connection between Gandhi assassination trial and Goraksha Math. I had read some where in some book, that like Savarkar was forever badnamed after that trial, Nehru government had made all attempts to implicate the then Mahant of Goraksha Math in the case too. Attempt was made to establish that the revolver that was used in the assassination, belonged to or was arranged by the Math, or some related charge. Did not succeed of course. I googled, but could not find anything related to this though.
