Product Description
Koenraad Elst’s Why I Killed the Mahatma examines Nathuram Godse’s stated defence and the political arguments surrounding the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.
Elst places Godse’s courtroom claims within debates about Partition, nationalism, Hindu political thought and Gandhi’s politics. Because both the historical event and its ideological interpretations remain highly contested, the book should be read as the author’s analysis rather than as a neutral or definitive account.
