This Day in History: Gandhi Is Assassinated

This Day in History:, Gandhi Is Assassinated.

January 30, 1948.

The political and spiritual leader of the Indian independence movement was assassinated in New Delhi by a Hindu fanatic.

Known as Mahatma, or “the great soul,” Gandhi’s methods of civil disobedience influenced leaders of civil rights movements around the world.

He organized his first campaign of satyagraha, or mass civil disobedience, in 1906 while working as a lawyer in South Africa.

Five years after returning to India, Gandhi launched a new satyagraha in 1919 in protest of Britain’s mandatory military draft of Indians.

For the next two decades, he led fasts, marches, worked for India's poor and was often imprisoned.

In 1942, Gandhi launched the “Quit India” movement, which called for a total British withdrawal from India.

On August 15, 1947, Britain agreed to create the two new independent states of India and Pakistan.

When he was killed, Gandhi was on a vigil to heal the religious strife between Hindus and Muslims in his country

Trump makes nonsensical comment on Kashmir conflict. Was he high or just plain stupid?

Donald Trump makes a bizarre claim on the Kashmir issue, says India and Pakistan fighting for 1,500 years on the border. Trump’s comments come as tensions between India and Pak on a high after the Pahalgam terror attack. Even though the claim is laced with inaccuracies India views the statement with a sense of relief as Trump has not shown any desire to mediate between India and Pakistan on the Kashmir issue. #Donald Trump #Trump #India #JammuKashmir #Jammu #Kashmir #KashmirConflict #IndiaPakistan #IndPak #KashmirIssue #TrumpOnKashmir #PahalgamTerrorAttack #PahalgamAttack #IndiaKashmir #J&K #PMModi #TrumpSlammed #TrumpCriticised

Pakistan Accuses India Of 'Flood Retaliation' As Jhelum's Sharp Water Rise Creates Panic in POK

Pakistani media outlets claim India released water into the Jhelum River without prior notice, causing sudden flooding near Chakothi in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Panic spread among residents along the riverbanks. Pakistani authorities issued warnings, linking the incident to India's response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam.
