Two leaders from Kathiawar had come to meet Mahatma Gandhi on his last day. The Mahatma told them to wait for his prayer saying he would meet them if he returned alive. Godse shot him dead at the prayer meeting.
Mahatma gandhi
There had been at least half-a-dozen attempts on Mahatma Gandhi's life, beginning 1917. There were attempts to poison him, and to assassinate him in bomb explosion or in gunfire. Mahatma Gandhi survived until Nathuram Godse, guided by fanatic passion, pumped bullets in his chest and stomach on January 30, 1948. It was 5.17 pm at Birla temple in Delhi.
The night before his assassination, Mahatma Gandhi complained of exhaustion and tiredness. It was unusual for Mahatma Gandhi but his closest companion during his last days, Manu Gandhi - then in her teenage - blamed the exhaustion on recent fast undertaken by Bapu, as he was fondly called, in the wake of post-Partition communal riots.
In her book, Last Glipmses of Bapu, Manu Gandhi writes:
"Bapu was feeling very tired at night but he finished the draft of the Congress constitution. He got up to wash his feet at 9.15 as usual and then made ready to go to bed. He was so exhausted that he forgot to take exercise. When I reminded him, he took it."
Skipping a routine, howsoever small or insignificant it might seem, annoyed Mahatma Gandhi. Manu Gandhi says Mahatma Gandhi "complained of feeling giddy" and was perturbed over some developments in the government and the country.
In that state, Mahatma Gandhi sang,
"The bloom in the world's garden in short-lived. Enjoy it so long as it lasts."
Mahatma Gandhi was unwell and coughing but when Manuben, as Manu Gandhi was known then, offered him a dose of penicillin - the most potent antibiotic of the time - he refused and told her how he should be judged after his death.
