The Murderer, The Monarch and The Fakir

The death anniversary of Gandhi is finally done for this year. All the posts that sang his praise on the 30th are now laid to rest. All those saffron ‘Desh Bhakths’ have sung a customary hymn for him & moved on with a huge Sigh of relief. They now would go back to collude their ways with the Killers of Gandhi and pretend it is just like any other death of old men, not an heinous murder and act of terror it really is. They rest in the thought that their numbers have grown and only little more time needed before they can give the final burial to his memories and dreams, like they did for his mortal remains 74 years back.

So it becomes all the more important that we do not just talk about Gandhi on his birthday or anniversary, but every day to remind that the murder of that man was not like just any other murder, but an attack on the soul of India that was built over the years fighting against oppressors and on a nation that was forged in the fire of sacrifice. A fire and dream so powerful, that it inspired the millions across the subcontinent, to unite on a common goal cutting across ethnic, religious and language lines.

There have been successive efforts on white washing of multiple facts. Savarkar is not connected to Godse; RSS and Godse are not connected; Hindu Mahasabha did not know about the plot on Gandhis’s Murder; Godse and his fellow accused were not connected to Hindu Mahasabha or RSS and were just lone wolves on prowl and much more so much that it is just a step from saying Gandhi death was suicide and no crime took place. On one hand number of Apologists starting from Godse himself to the likes of Konrad Elst to Goutier were propped up to justify the murder under the need for Hindu survival.

So what this new book, presents about is not important just in the facts that are presented, rather how they are presented which reveal the sequence of events and the motive behind the murder conclusively and compellingly. The false narrative that the Hindu fundamendalist hoard created at every step needs a strong refute with facts and figures in a way that appeals to the generation today and this book goes to do exactly that.

Did Savarkar and Godse have a passing acquaintance and Savarkar was involved not with him on the long term plot?

There are a number of Witness statements and motives presented in the past including about the fateful meeting between V.D.Savarkar and Godse before they executed the plan. But those were based on conjunction and therefore was easy for the Hindutva supporters to brush as circumstantial. However this book presents a compelling first hand proof of the fact that Godse and Savarkar knew each other well and were involved in Joint meetings & activities leading upto the Murder. The smoking gun people were looking for was right before the eyes, which went unnoticed, intentional or unintentional.

While the embers were smoking for some time, it got headway when partition became the rallying point and Raison d'être for the flames of hatred that fed into the motives of the Sangh and its predecessor Hindu Maha Sabha.

In fact, the plot was so meticulously planned and the net for the supporters cast so wide that, every time a proof surfaced, the initial intelligence reports were buried, the key conspirators were allowed to move around and subterfuge used to cover up their trail by those at the power within the law enforcement and Judiciary. That fact is pointed out repeatedly with documents unearthed. Besides on the previous abortive attempt by the same team, one of their conspirators who was a refugee from partition was apprehended. In spite of that and mounting evidence, the plan took off possibly only because of the network of supporters inside the establishment.

This key fact has to be understood in the right context, that the murder did not stop with those who were convicted but a wider set of people whose said reason stated was religion, but the real purpsose much more sinister.

Was RSS blameless compared to Hindu Mahasabha which enabled, armed and facilitated the crime?

So what was the compelling reason that savarkar and his band of Hindu terrorists to plan the heinous act? What brought the Fanatics and Rajah of Alwar together in this evil terror mission?

It is also interesting to note the power in many of these principalities that supported were not actually the princes but the people like khare and his fellow privileged class who held ropes of power strongly and those were the ones to lose the most more than the princes if Gandhi’s Classless society dream was to be realised. The privileged class and the monarch on which it was feeding on, colluded to achieve a common goal.

Let this sink; it was not the Hindu preservation; not even the Dharmic indignation but plain and simple act of self preservation of a specific entitled Class and also a Monarch with an axe to grind on Gandhi, who facilitated and pulled it through.

Yet the height of the collusion was visible when the terrorist and murderer, Godse was given the time, means and content to produce a completely misleading, yet tear wrenching justification in the court room for his act. Clearly the tone and tenor of that long “speech” was prepared and rehearsed for the effect, not just in the courtroom but to this day as “document” for those who seek to further the nefarious agenda.

And that explains why till date, a well rehearsed speech, however false & misleading, appealing to Hindu preservation and not to sensible / rational truth, can sway and direct the masses in India.
