2001 Words9 Pages

Name: Ameya Prabhune SR No. : 11849. Group: C. Nathuram Godse – His Final Speech Textual Analysis: Humanities Project. The given text is an excerpt from the speech given by Nathuram Godse after he assassinated Mahatma Gandhi. The place is the Punjab High Court in Peterhoff, Shimla. In this speech, he has reasoned why he assassinated Gandhi. The speech was meant, of course, for the juries as well as the people present in the court. As he himself makes clear, it is for the listener to decide what he has done is right or wrong. Now, all kind of persons must have read his speech in newspapers, his autobiography and on internet. There would be strict Gandhi supporters, people who have hatred against Gandhi from the roots of their heart and some who could never make up their mind. I feel that the speech is intended for those who respect Gandhiji and feel that all he has done is correct from all aspects. He explains why he thinks Gandhiji made some unforgivable blunders in the freedom movement for which he (Nathuram) committed this grave crime. He begins by saying that Hindus, at the turn of the 1920’s had begun to neglect their caste differences and had united to fight against the British rule in India. But only non-violence was not sufficient, the Indian youth had talent and were not afraid of death. So, Indians must subject to violence and quick action if they want freedom from

    Gandhi once said, “An eye-for-an-eye makes the whole world blind.” What he meant is that fighting violence with violence helped no one. During his lifetime, Gandhi fought against oppressive British rule in India, and his journey was known throughout the world. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela both shared Gandhi’s thirst for freedom, basing their respective movements for peace on Gandhi’s. All three men fought peacefully for equality, whether it was for India’s freedom from the British empire, emancipation from apartheid laws that prohibited black Africans from being truly free, or liberation from Jim Crow laws to keep black Americans inferior to whites.

    For example, when he uses the words “curse” and “unnecessary” this can easily cause him to think this letter is just Gandhi’s way of insulting him. Going back to paragraph 2, Gandhi mentioned he, “holds the British rule to be a curse”. Because of this, he is now portraying the feeling that he is not in the position to make agreeable gestures, or respect the manner of the Lord. Which in that case, could be a reason why the viceroy did not respond to Gandhi’s letter. Due to all the things Gandhi had said about the viceroys rule, when he says “this is not intended to be a threat” it really gives the Lord no other way to feel about Gandhi’s
