30th January 1948 - The Darkest Day in Indian History

Mahatma Gandhi was one of the greatest freedom fighters of Indian nation. He was called as the father of India, and he suffered a lot to fight for the freedom of India. Being a great leader, he lived a very simple life. One of his remarkable habit was he always wore simple homemade Khadi clothes which was made by Gandhi in his own hands. And one more interesting thing about Gandhiji was his food habits, he ate groundnuts and very fond of drinking milk.

GandhiJi's Funeral

To describe more about his patriotism on India and his people, he always used to say there is no separate rooms in my heart for Muslims and Hindus in India, but I see each of them as my fellow Indians. But this was not digested by some of his enemies who don’t want to be with Ghandi’s policy of non violence and civil disobedience, because Gandhi believed that violence is not the remedy for the violence of British against India and he also proved it to the world. On 30th January 1948, during evening prayer meeting a man named 'Nathuram Godse' killed Gandhiji by shotting him thrice. Thus the legendry person Gandhiji fell down and died exactly at 5.40 PM. From then, 30th January 1948 becomes the darkest day in Indian History.
