Godses contd....

Resuming from where I left, found another link- Gopal Godse's interview to the TIME magazine in circa 2000 I guess. He expresses no remorse in what he and his elder brother did years ago. But one statement of his begs attention. His take on how Gandhi was able to fool the whole country into believing blindly in his principles. His mannerisms , his supposedly "populist" actions...well not many would have thought deeply through all this as the Godse's had done then. And if I look at it from a very neutral perspective well sheer reasoning says I just can't condone the arguments they have provided. It seems the immediate cause for that heinous act was the Hindu Muslim riots that took place during partition which lead to mass killings of thousands of hindus. (Though Muslims too suffered in commensurate measure is something we cannot deny.) So who was right?? Well I guess life doesn't play out that way. There are grey shades and hence I refrain from taking a strong stand here. after all none of us can deny that Gandhi did bring about a "revolution" in India, something which transformed India in more ways than one.
Here's the link to the interview......
