Mahatma Gandhi was criticized for his silent acquiescence to the partition of India into separate Hindu and Muslim state and his involvement in the release of ₹55 crore to Pakistan by the Government. But facts and findings suggest Gandhi ji did not trigger such an act by the Government neither was he alone to have succumbed to the idea of partition. What led Godse make such a grotesque attempt is still unclear and the fact that the assailant is still not considered a zealot by numerous people raises questions over what resulted into this infamous assassination. Whatsoever, this particular killing will continue being a part of India's psyche.
