In more recent history, it was the heroic fight put up by Chhatrapati Shivaji that first checked and eventually de-stroyed the Muslim tyranny in India.

Explore the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948, its causes, the role of Nathuram Godse, and the event’s impact on India’s politics and society.

As I grew up I developed a tendency to free thinking unfettered by any superstitious allegiance to any isms, political or religious.
