Abstract
As much as the saying ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’ is correct it doesn’t go on with titles which are pretty obvious with their content, as the case of our book in hand. For those who are familiar with our nation’s history of pre and post-independence eras, the title is all they want to connect to what, in one’s opinion was one of the darkest and most unfortunate events of independent India. Like John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and many more renowned world leaders, Mahatma Gandhi was also bound to the same fate of the infamous assassination by Nathuram Godse, who was vehemently aggravated by the actions of Gandhiji allegedly being partial in favor of the Muslim community and Pakistan.
