ah, john did dark searches for the truth again, this time the exiled turkish journalist who meets svetlana tihano sky, exiled leader of the opposition in bella rue school. i mean, huge. of course i'm tired. i'm tired. physically untied. morally, it's too much on my shoulders, but i have to hold this weight because i'm responsible for the future fall country for the people who are behind the boss. guardians of truth starts february 18th, on dw, with this or did avenues aisha coming up to date 75 years after his assassination. how india views, independence hero mahatma gandhi. he's always been called the father of the nation in india for his non violent struggle against british rule. but 75 years after his death. it's his assassin. that's been called

a patriot by some in india. we asked why ah, my british manager, welcome to the dublin years, a shirt ledger could join us. 75 years ago to day mark my gun, the who led the campaign for india as independence was assassinated in delhi. the former lawyer is often called the father of the nation and credited with leading a non violent struggle for independence from british rule. gandhi wanted an independent peaceful india that protected religious freedom. but that was challenged by growing muslim and hindu nationalism. in 1947, india gained independence from the british. but at the cost of partition, most the majority of pakistan and hindu majority. but 2nd or india came into being religious rights followed. and dunphy went on hunger strike to oppose the violence

. hundreds um on january 30th, 1948, he was assassinated by hindu nationalist, who believed gandhi had been to accommodating to muslims during the partition. around a 1000000 people, turned out for his funeral, battled its way along. that was in 1948, but the india of 2023 is rather different. internationalism has been emboldened by prime minister in their modi leaving gone these legacy in tatters. as did have no correspondence, when your children finds out, ah, you school, my bedroom, a schoolteacher has brought his students on an excursion to roger cut. a memorial in delhi, dedicated to mahatma gandhi. drakeesha himself has read about gone the since he was a child. the bellow there, he wants his students to learn more about the great man as well. gandhi k e quantity was a leader of our country who made

a name for himself and for our country globally. he led such important movements and struggles that we still think about or so the kids should also know all this at feeling good. the thought about the what the carnegie mart my gone these to for non violence and campaigned fiercely for religious tolerance, eradication of untouchable city and south rule for india. a poor one until a professor at deleon adversity often writes about gandhi. he describes him as a dissenter and a disruptor. he says that society's collective understanding of gandhi has become superficial. our schools, our picks books, are in worst, is daunted, warned our children or student stool to come across about gandhi, who asks uncomfortable question. and who, who questions on the status quo in every sense of the term jazz says, today's society has lost sight of gone these to relevance in need. one than i

taught agrees. she has been a librarian for 20 years now. over the past few years, she says she has seen a change by linton dela pena will. people would come to the library on occasion, such as the anniversary of gandhi's birth or death from other children. also used to come and read about gandhi, but not many come now, i see even the interest in gandy, i feel is not as great as before. home was in the back. the love come what they, their london, i've impressions seemed to be borne out by the people he spoke to on the streets. personally, the biggest fan of my, my grandy and i think he has been a bit biggest influenza. but beyond no generation, they are not valuing those values as such. i think the prison renew he's being made irrelevant. her values forward to that he fought for. ah, the current ethos,

that prevailing is absolutely diametrically opposed to their 75 years after his death. ma ma gone, these name is still well known. but his ideals and teachings appeared to have lost much of their power in the country of his book. that laws has been his assassins gain now to rom, godsa who shotgun the 3 times in the chest, is now openly fated by some d. the blues are the pot reports this memorial in the heart of delhi is vere map. ma gandy was assassinated by a radical hindu nationalist. not where i'm good, say 75 years ago as gandhi walked across his ground, got see shot him 3 times in the just killing him on the spot to day. hush, mother, an activist who opposes good, sees hindu extremist. ideology is on his regular visit to pay tribute to the madman . he says that god is assassination. by god se shook the witty core of the nation.

there was a dentist of heat that was sweeping or much of a concrete. and that suddenly, a, you know, with his assassination, with the blood literate here i, i think he was tongued as a nation into recognizing where the politics of he was leading us for mother. this memorial is a reminder, up gone the sacrifice in the darkest and most turbulent beard of india's political history. but in recent years, a cult of personality has begun. brown, not where i'm good, say, good say belonged to a right wing organization called the hindu mass above. he advocated the idea for him the nation, and believed that gandhi had betrayed the hindus by being sympathetic towards the muslims during the portion of the country in 1947, for the biographer of good se,

there in that good jar, the growing admiration for the assassin is a serious cause of concern. he says that gandhi's statues are being increasingly run to lies by those who oppose the idea of a secular india. so as oscillation was a kind of act him to our stall, this process of india becoming a secular democracy. the min holden was sought to remove through as oscillation. so it was an attempt to resolve this clash, the class between 2 ideas to capture the soul of india. backlash between a secular india and indonesian state what has become more prominent to day reserve this temple in the not done city of merit is due to it to the cult up. good. see, the group of men here is rehearsing celebrations, to mark gandhi's assassination. i'm out on january 30th, but didn't ha, i shook sharma,

is the current leader of the right wing in new mos about group off each one. good. see was a member, why he dreams off opening good cit, temples across india. if you go part of godaddy, it is not only the dream of hindu ma huseby, the dream of every hindu fundamentalist and hinder nationalist. to raise the name and ideology of mahatma gandhi and make not forum go to the father of the nation. wrong ward of is this garage with all these, we was profoundly shocking for those who were gone the as the father of the mission . and joining me now for more is to chip a margin. she's a historian and professor the prestigious javan la letter university in delhi. professor margin, how mainstream would you say is support for my, my gum, these assess in not where i'm god see in india to day. well, i see that it's not mean stream at all. these are strange elements.

they are used by the y pigeon party to suit their political interests because there is always a need for extremist elements and fringe elements to satisfy a certain constituency. so they're allowed to do stuff like setting up tempers to god said you can even have a, b, b, m, be proud. talk or praising both c and other b, g, p, functionaries, of you know, coming up with a poster where you're pointing air guns which are squatting, blood and blood is coming out of the of mahatma. they are killing him. but i would say that it's not me in stream at all,

and that's the saving grace for us in india to day. however, there's one, kathy, it, which is that god say represented in 1947 wat broad lee the b g, b and particularly the r it's s and its allies represent to be a particular ideological politics. i do want to talk to you, but i do want to talk to you about the b b because you had one of my part on these great grant on shotgun. the saying that prime minister, moody, through his speeches is caught lighting the fire of heat and that this when one day can zoom in there itself. would you agree with this? are gone these assessment i would not go as

far as that. i think as the prime minister of a big country, he cannot afford to polish the politics of hate beyond a certain point. but is it only about the electoral politics of the b g p also actually believe in what it's saying in one sense because we are talking about the b g p which traces it's routes back to the sense of which nothing i'm gonna say was at least at one point, a member i would see that god see and his mental and patron salvo code, who was clearly behind the conspiracy, was a very important member off the hindu martha and said back, but did not narrow. said that but deal at home and it still was the one who wrote

saying that it was a wink off the hindu martha and which was behind the ones to see, to kill mahatma gandhi. so there's no doubt that the politics of books they are out of are it says that even the b g, b i the same idea. logical politics is one of a majority in politics. the desire to establish the state i hinder roster, the demand for each game right as early as 1947. and because they saw don d as an obstacle, he had to be put out of the way. there is no difference, ideologically between all 4 strands. i was only making the distinction that elect orderly and from the tactical point of view. you need your allies,

you know, in other states, you know, it all knit base. you need people in from the side. you know, you need those guys who are not going to follow the politics of the trade in so direct to read. we'll leave that there for the time being. thank you so much for joining us today. so get them hodgen from j new university. and that's it. for today is mono website. you have a dot com forward slash asia. i'm as ever, you can follow us on facebook and twitter as well. we're back tomorrow then by people in trucks injured when trying to flee the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. order families see the reason for the credit on it is with people seeing extreme dreams.
