Hi guys, Hope you all are doing good and enjoying your day with family. I am doing good too. Today, 30th January is celebrated as "Martyrs Day" in India every year. On January 30, 1948 our Mahatma Gandhi was shot during his evening prayers in the Birla House. Mahatma Gandhi, the father of our Nation was shot by a man named Nathuram Godse. Martyrs day is celebrated by the country to commemorate the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Nathuram Godse shot Gandhiji thrice in his chest and abdomen. It is said that his last words uttered were "Hey Ram". On this day, the President, the vice president, the prime minister, the defense minister and the three Service Chiefs (Army, Navy and Airforce) lay wreaths made of multicolour flowers at his Samadhi at Raj Ghat in Delhi. At 11am, a two minute silence in memory of Indian Martyrs is observed throughout the country. His ideals and principles of peace, nonviolence, simplicity, purity of means and humility is still followed by people of India. Share your thoughts about it. Have a great day. Take care!!!

Gandhi was a hero in Chinese history book,he used the peaceful way to liberate Whole India.But now,under the New Hitler's brainwashing.,Chinese people think he's just a dog and slave of Britain.he can't Change India.He let India become a joke and the Western Dependency. I felt so angry and sad,but i won't argue with them,or Gestapo will arrest me for speaking for India.It's treason to Red Nazi.You only can praise Communist Party and cathay,meantime,you have to stigmatize those countries CCP doesn't like,or you'll be in danger. But i know,what the New Hitler said is all lie.It's obviously the better way to liberate India without Civil War and bloody fighting.No one can did it,even Washington also needed to use the war to liberate USA,But Gandhi did it.He is really a saint and the Messiah of India,he created a road that can let those colonial countries get liberation peacefully. There's no doubt that he's the greatest leader in Indian History and a great martyr in Human history.May God bless Gandhi and India.

Lol. I am not related to him but I do live my life based on his ideals and principles. He shot him because he believed that Gandhiji was too pro muslim and soft towards them thereby offending Hindus, so in a rage, he shot him

@Rashnag That was a wicked and stupid act to shoot him. Did the person who shot him serve time in prison.Is that person alive today?
