smilingly, oh shan, pawn i this is did up in years asia 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, i british manager, welcome to deed of the news asia, glad you could join us. 75 years ago today, mark montgomery who led the campaign for india's 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, bought at the cost of partition, muslim majority of pakistan and him to majority. but 2nd, a india came into being religious rights followed and gone, went on hunger strike,

to oppose the violence. hundreds of on january the 30th 1948. he was assassinated by hindu nationalist who believed gandhi had been too accommodating to muslims during the partition around a 1000000 people. then mark turned out for his funeral regard as a 5th battled as well. that was in 1948, but the india off 2023 is rather different. internationalism has been emboldened by prime minister narrative or multi leaving gone these legacy in tatters. as did have no correspondence, when you're not shouldering finds out. ah, jackie school, my bad, a schoolteacher has brought his students on an excursion to rach, cut a memorial in delhi dedicated to mahatma gandhi. jackie's himself has read about gone the since he were the child. the bellow, the thing he was had students to learn more about the great man as well than the ticket economy 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 that the kids should also know all that, that he only the authority. but there were the carnegie mart my gun. these 2 for non violence and campaigned fiercely for religious tolerance, eradication of under to ability and self rule for india. a poor man until a professor at deleon where city often writes about gandhi. he describes him as a dissenter and a disruptor. he says that society's collective understanding of candy has become superficial. i was schools, our picks books are in worst is born warned children or students to, to come across bad gandhi, who asks, uncomfortable question. and who, who questions on the status quo in every sense of the term. jaw says, today's society has lost sight of gone these to relevance in need. one denija

agrees. she has been a librarian for 20 years now. over the past few years, she says she has seen a change valera de la la la bernie will. people would come to the library on occasion, such as the anniversary of gandhi's birth or death. la 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 with a look back to let her come with a bundle of impressions seemed to be borne out by the people he spoke to on the streets. partly the biggest fan of my ma gandhi, and i think he has been a bit biggest influenza. what be no generation they are not valuing those values as such. i think the prison reluw he's being made irrelevant. her values forward to that he fought for. ah, the current ethos,

that's 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 teaching appear to have lost much of the apollo in the country of his book. that laws has been his. assassin's game not to rom, godsa, who shot gone the 3 times and the trust is now openly fated by some. did our blues are then pot reports this memorial in the heart of delhi, his vere map, ma gandy was assassinated by a radical hindu nationalist. not rom, good z 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, mondor, an activist who opposes god, 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 tempest of heat that was sweeping or much of our country. and that sunday, a lot with his assassination, with the blood that fitted right here. i. i think he was stunned as a nation into recognizing where the politics of he was leading us for mother. this memorial is a reminder up gone, these sacrifice in the darkest and most turbulent beard of india's political history. but in recent years, a cult of personality has begun around not around good, see good se belonged to a right wing organization called the kingdom os. about. he advocated the idea of a hindu 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, say that in that good job,

the growing admiration for the assassin is a seed is cause of concern. he says that gandhi statues are being increasingly run to lies by those who oppose the idea of a secular india. so assassination was a kind of act him to our stall this process of india becoming a secular democracy. the mean holder 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 that didn't oh, i shook sharma is the current leader of the right wing in new mass about group of

each one. good. see was a member, why he dreams of 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 war, this garage was all these. we was profoundly shocking for those who will gone the as the father of the mission. and joining me now for more is to chip a mahogany. she's a historian and professor the prestigious duvall law letter university in delhi. professor margin, how mainstream would you say is support for mart 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.

ah, the are used by the, by pigeon party to suit their political interests. because there is always a need for extremist elements entry and gentlemen to satisfy a certain constituency. so they're allowed to do stuff like setting up tempers to go see. you can even have a, b, b, m, be proud. talk or appraising both c and other b, g, p, functionaries, of you know, coming up with a post 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 se represented in 1947 wat broad lee, the b g b, and particularly the r it's s. and it's the allies represent to be a particular ideological politics. i do want to ask you, but i do want to talk to you about the b j b because you're head to one of these great grants on shot gun. the saying that prime minister, moody, through his speeches is caught lighting the fire of heat and that this will one day consume in itself. would you agree with the shot gun 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? so does 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 its routes back to the recess 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 nehru 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 j. 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 4th trans. i was actually 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 nit 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 mona website, do you ever dot com forward slash, a sharp, missouri didn't follow us on facebook and twitter as well. we're back to morrow to been about a what interest? the global economy our portfolio d w. business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission. to analyze the

which are next on ukraine's wishlist. but this is turning into a heated debate already. we got a chance to speak to ukraine's ambassador here in berlin and ask him what he did exactly. it is they key f needs and who it wants to get it from. alexi mackay of thank you very much for joining d, w. let's start by talking about jet fighters. ukraine is now moving this debate very quickly onto the need for jet fighters. why are jets so important to ukraine or jets are important because it is a part of our efforts to, to get russian rockets down because, you know, this is the most danger. think we unfortunately have to face every day. russian launches a lot of missiles doors to the radio city.
