Nice try by Soutik Biswas

BBC NEWS South Asia Gandhi's non-violence message to Mid-East

In 1948 he was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic who opposed his tolerance for all creeds and religions

Soutik Biswas tries to stretch the facts a bit. My limited knowledge (from what I have read) tells me that Godse was more aghast at the Indian government's pandering of Pakistan at Gandhi's behest. Whatever the truth is, it is sad that India in the 50+ years since the incident has choosen to keep the facts under wraps. And, take an extreme reaction to anything related to the event. So, we have books like "Nine hours to Rama" and plays like "Mee Nathuram Godse Boltoy" banned.
