Reading “Homage to Mahatma” to observe 75th Anniversary of Martyrdom of Gandhiji
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi or Mahatma Gandhi called the ‘Father of the Nation’ was assassinated on 30 January 1948 at New Delhi. He was 78. The assassin fired three bullets into Gandhiji’s chest. 30 January is also observed as Martyrs Day to honour his martyrdom as well that of all martyrs who laid down their lives for the cause of country’s independence and national unity. Today, 30 January 2023, is the 75th anniversary of the Martyrdom of Mahatma Gandhi. In the aftermath of his assassination, tributes poured in from world over mourning the violent death of the apostle of peace and non-violence. Some of the important messages were compiled and published by Publications Division in a book form titled ‘Homage to Mahatma’ in 1948. In this episode, I read out some of the obituaries received from global leaders. The book has been structured as messages received from different continents; and I follow almost similar structure with some minor variations in sequence to read, remember and reflect on the impact left by the Great Gandhiji.
