>>>>Gandhi was murdered by an opponent of the abolition of the caste system.
Wrong.
Gandhi was behind/supported India’s partition and was favoring Muslims. He forced India to give big chunk of money to Pakistan. To force his demand, he was frequently go into fasting mode.
During partition, he became so unpopular that people/kids walking on street used to slap his posters or picture with shoes.
He also favored “Caliphate”.

Wrong.

Nehru was the Hindu leader during the independence negotiations, and the muzzies wanted partition, on the grounds that after separation the two new nations could come back together as equals. The killer of Gandhi was just a nasty elitist xenophobic cowardly prick who pumped three bullets into an unarmed philosophical pacifist.

If you’ve got some kind of credible evidence for Gandhi favoring the Caliphate, bring it on.

> Godse, a Chitpavan brahmin and Hindu nationalist activist from Pune, Maharashtra, had been a member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Hindu Mahasabha. He left RSS in the early 1940s to form a militant organization, Hindu Rashtra Dal. He resented what he considered was Gandhi’s partiality to India’s Muslims, plotted the assassination with Narayan Apte and six others. After a trial that lasted over a year, Godse was sentenced to death on 8 November 1949. Although pleas for commutation were made by India’s prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and by two of Gandhi’s sons on the grounds that a death sentence would dishonour the legacy of a man opposed to all forms of violence, Godse was hanged a week later. This was the first execution in Independent India.
