1 Martyrs’ Day 2024: Remembering Mahatma Gandhi on his death anniversary

January 30 is the death anniversary of the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, who was assassinated by Nathuram Vinayak Godse on this day in 1948, just five months and 15 days after the country gained independence from British rule.

He returned to India in 1915 and soon began organizing farmers and urban workers to protest against discrimination. He initiated non-violent and non-violent movements against British colonial rule. His nonviolent approach and ability to win people over with love and tolerance had a profound impact on the civil rights movement.

He not only dedicated his life to India’s freedom struggle but also led the nationwide movement against untouchability and poverty. He was also an advocate for women’s rights.

On January 30, 1948, he went to Birla Bhavan in Delhi to attend evening prayers (around 5:17 pm) along with his great-niece Nathuram Godse (a Hindu nationalist).
