HARD TRUTH: Tushar Gandhi says Brahmin community were behind the
murder of Mahatma Gandhi.
New Delhi: The Brahmin community was behind several bids on Mahatma
Gandhi's life as the community wanted to make India a Hindu nation,
Tushar A Gandhi, the great-grandson of the father of the nation,
claimed on Tuesday.
"I want to condemn the theory of the Sangh Parivar that Gandhi was
killed because he was responsible for the vivisection of the
motherland and because he forced the Indian Government to give
Pakistan Rs 55 crore," Tushar said at an event where his book Let's
Kill Gandhi was launched.
"These are all excuses which are not true and the Brahmin community,
which wanted to make India a Hindu nation, were behind all the
attempts and the murder of the father of the nation," he added.
"Gandhi's killing was not an assassination. It was a premeditated
murder. Gandhi was targeted by Brahmins who wanted India should become
a Hindu nation and they would remain a dominant community."
"Before he was eventually murdered on January 30, 1948, there were
several attempts on his life and Pune was linked to all the attempts
on his life," he said after the book was launched.
Presenting the hard-hitting facts, Tushar said the first attempt on
the Mahatma's life was made at Pune in 1935 when a grenade was hurled
at him during a Harijan yatra, but Gandhi escaped the attempt. Other
bids on his life were made at Panchgani and Wardha in Maharashtra.
"Narayan Apte, Nathuram Godse and their gang of extremists were
involved in the three attempts. Worse, there were a lot of lapses in
arrangements made to protect Gandhi," Tushar said.
The book presents an analysis of events from 1944 to 1949. Tushar
started working four years ago on the book, which was written on the
basis of archival records, records of the Mahatma's murder trial and
investigation and verbal history.
"The attempts on the Mahatma's life were intended to kill his legacy
and subvert his philosophy," he said.
Tushar said the Kapoor Commission, which was constituted in 1968 to
investigate the larger conspiracy behind the killing of Gandhi, came
out with many startling revelations.
He claimed the feeling of "hatred" between Hindus and Muslims still
persists in the country and the Government needed to take steps for a
harmonious relation between both communities. "Hindus and Muslims are
still a divided lot. If steps are not taken, the country will be
fragmented," he said.
