This book looks at Nathuram Godse, the man who killed Mahatma Gandhi and remains one of the most reviled figures in modern Indian memory. It asks what drove him to make his fateful decision, and places his family's hardships and his love for his homeland at the centre of the story. The author examines the conspiracy around him, including the roles played by his associates, and questions whether the killing could have been prevented by the police. It also considers whether a larger organisation stood behind the plot, and how Savarkar came to be arrested and linked to the crime. Set against the trauma of partition and its aftermath, the book raises these questions openly, inviting readers to look beyond the usual school account of Gandhi's death and to weigh the motives and evidence for themselves.
