How Others Viewed Gandhi

People in India still call him "Mahatma Gandhi" which means "Great Soul Gandhi". They truly respected and honoured Gandhi and they still do. They also call him the "father of  nation", a great politician.
Others in the world also respect his bravery and courage. Many people get inspired, and get influenced by him.

But there were people who thought he was a hypocrite. Nathuram Godse, who was a Hindu extremist, believed that India got parted into two parts because of Gandhi. Gandhi told people that they should never be angry or violent to the Muslims but Godse opinion was different because the Hindus did not defend themselves from the Muslim's attack and many died. On January 30 1948, Gandhi was shot by Godse. Godse and his friend Narayan Apte got hanged soon after. His brother, Gopal Godse, also got sentenced to jail for 18years.
