Mort pour la paixA Death for Peace
January 20, 1948. Gopal Godse, a Hindu radical, attempts to assassinate Ghandhi. Instead, it is his brother, Nathuram, who will succeed in killing the advocate of the partition of India ten days later. Fifty years after the events, Arnaud Mandagaran set out to cast light on the exact circumstances of this tragedy. He sought out Gopal, now a gaunt-faced old man, who has no regrets about his failed crime, nor the 21 year prison sentence he received for his part in the plot against the Mahatma. Even if the recent victory of Ghandi’s party has relegated the Hindu nationalists to the background, Godse’s brothers-in-arms can still strike again today.
