"..But was Godse also wrong in his reasons for killing Gandhi? "
"Gandhi never wanted India to be partitioned."
"Gandhi cannot be completely absolved of his role in creating “circumstances” that led to the Partition." Godse thought so. "Indian politics, “in the absence of Gandhiji”, would surely be better,"
" He was proved wrong. India became a vibrant polity, but not in Gandhi’s absence but through his eternal presence."
QED: Eternal Presence of Gandhi made India a vibrant polity!
