Mahatma Gandhi lead India to independence from england.
Through the employment of civil disobedience and non-violent resistance Ghandi inspired
civil rights movements, not only in india but across the globe.
He was a symbol of peace and human rights, but he was assassinated on January 30 1948
by Nathuram Godse during an evening prayer ceremony.
Godse shot Ghandhi 3 times in the chest, just months after Gandhi helped secure india's
independence.
The world has not been the same since Gandhi's death, so one has to wonder what would have
happened if Gandhi had lived on?
Thats exactly what we are going to talk about, right now on life's biggest questions.

Ghandi is one of the most important peaceful figureheads ever to have lived.
He was known for his non violent resistance, where he would use his intellect and his body
to demonstrate how to resolve conflicts.
Gandhi was dubbed Father of the Nation, and most commonly known to the people as Bapu.
If he had lived on, it would have only been for a few more years given the age he was
assassinated.
He was 78 years old when he was murdered.
After india was granted its independence, Gandhi showed signs that he wanted to get
out of mainstream politics and concentrate on the social problems of society.
Still, if he had lived on, he would have played a role in forming India's first government.
That being said, even though Gandhi was a popular political figure, his ability to govern
was limited, especially given how old he was.
Gandhi spent his final months spinning and fasting.
Gandhi would spin wool with a spinning wheel every day for 1 hour at 4pm.
At the age of 76, gandhi embarked on a new career as a doctor.
He had no license to practice, but was seeking a nature cure.
He often regarded spinning as a cure for all, so perhaps he would have lived out his remaining
years as simply as possible.
It is difficult to know for sure though.
Knowing gandhi, he also would have tried to help humanity as much as he could have.
One thing that can be assumed, is that If gandhi had not been assassinated, and lived
through the late 40s and 50's, he would have helped heal the relations between india
and pakistan.
India and pakistan have been bitter enemies throughout history, and continue to be to
this day.
In January of 1948, Gandhi completed a fast from the 13th to the 18th, for the purpose
of raising awareness for the rights of minorities in india and pakistan.
Gandi had also planned to visit pakistan, just days after his assassination.
He famously said 'when my work here is finished, i shall go to pakistan' But unfortunately,
his desires to mend the wounds between india and pakistan was one of the reasons why there
was a conspiracy to assassinate him.
Following the partition of india and pakistan, there were mass murders, rapes, and riots
all over india.
During the trial of his murder, Godse said that the government in india at the time was
unfairly favourable toward muslims and he accused Gandhi of dividing the country into
India and Pakistan.
Gandhi was also looking to abolish the Indian Congress, so if he had succeeded, he would
have made even more enemies, and likely sparked further assasination attempts.
If Gandhi had lived on, he would have continued to speak publicly about non violence and tolerance,
values that are passed down through generations of indian people even to this day.
Perhaps he would have lived long enough to speak on television, allowing millions more
people to witness his powerful words of wisdom, and inspiring future generations of indians
and civil rights activists as he had already done.
All in all, during his long life, gandhi had succeeded in achieving what he set out to
achieve.
another few years might not have been as impactful.
He would have continued to further social change, while not been as active in politics.
But like many other important people who have been assassinated throughout history, gandhi's
murder elevated him to a godlike status.
Gandhi was essentially a saint, who was committed to the betterment of humanity.
When he was assassinated, the violence and riots occurring india stopped.
His murder made people stop and think and reevaluate.
It is sadly ironic that a man who was an advocate for peace, ended up dying as a result of violence.
How do you think the world would be different if gandhi wasn't assassinated?
