Mahatma Gandhi, born in the heart of the people by the name of Bapu, was born on this day and he even gave his life for the independence of the country. Today, on his 150th birth anniversary, the whole nation is remembering him. Gandhiji taught non-violence to the people throughout his life and the British also had to bow before him. The people of India were happy after the country became independent. There was a wave of democracy in the country, but this happiness turned into national mourning when Gandhiji was shot dead at Birla Bhawan in New Delhi on 30 January 1948.

Due to these 5 movements of Mahatma Gandhi, India got independence

Yes, 30 January 1948 was the day when Gandhiji invited Sardar Patel to meet him for talks at 4 pm. At that time Patel along with his daughter Maniben reached to meet Gandhiji on time and a prayer meeting was held at Birla Bhawan every evening at 5 pm. At the same time, Gandhiji did not forget to attend this meeting whenever he was in Delhi and it was past 5 in the evening.

After that, Gandhiji was busy in a meeting with Sardar Patel, but then suddenly at 5:15, Gandhiji's eyes went on the clock and he remembered that time was going out for prayer. At the end of the meeting, Bapuji was moving towards the stage to join the prayer meeting, placing his hands on the shoulders of Abha and Manu, but at that time Nathuram Vinayak Godse came in front of him. Nathuram Godse folded his hands in front of Gandhiji said- 'Namaste Bapu!'

After that Nathuram Godse attacked Manu and stalked the small barreta pistol hidden in his hands in front of Gandhi, and shot three bullets one after the other on Gandhiji's chest. At the same time, two bullets went out through Bapu's body, while one bullet remained stuck in his body, and Gandhiji fell there. He died thereafter.

After Gandhiji's assassination, Godse confessed his crime, saying, "At 4.50 pm on Friday evening, I reached the gate of Birla Bhavan, I entered in the middle of a flock of four and five people and went inside to swarm security. I was successful in hiding myself in the crowd, so that no one suspected me. At 5.10 pm, I saw Gandhi ji leaving his room and going towards the prayer meeting."

There were two girls next to Gandhiji, with his hand on their shoulder, he was walking. I first saw Gandhi coming in front of me, bowed with folded hands for his great works and separated the two girls from them and opened fire. I was going to shoot only two. But the third one also went and Gandhiji fell there itself.

When I fired three bullets at Gandhiji one after the other, the people standing around Gandhiji ran away. I also put both hands up for surrender, after that no one was daring to come to me, even the policemen were watching from a distance. I myself shouted the police, after about 5-6 minutes a person came to me. After that, a crowd gathered in front of me and people started beating me.
