Mahatma Gandhi Assassination

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was assassinated on January 30, 1948. On 30 January 1948, at 5:17 pm, Nathuram Godse, a Hindu fanatic got close enough to Mahatma Gandhi at a prayer meeting at the Birla House and shot him

three times in his chest at point-blank range.

The first freedom fight took place in 1857 when Indian soldiers revolted against the British who were working in the East India Company. They call this revolution as sipoy revolution and they also call this revolt as this was the first revolution against British. There are many reasons for this revolts like politics, religion, financial etc. the East India Company used to separate the Indian soldiers and British soldiers and give partiality to them. They never

gave the salaries to Indian soldiers and they used to treat them like animals. They used to insult the Indian soldiers and the insults had increased to a range that they were not able to tolerate.
