As they sat in the car, an explosion went off inside Birla House. Badge and his servant were still at the prayer meeting, while Madanlal was apprehended by an enraged crowd after a witness, Sulochana Devi, pointed him out to the constables guarding the house.

Sulochana Devi was in her early twenties. She lived about to steps from the Birla House at 9, Albuquerque Road. In her account, she said she was following her three-year-old child who had run out of the house towards Birla House from the back. Nearly fifteen paces from her, she saw Madanlal placing a bomb and lighting a matchstick to ignite it.

Then the explosion happened. This is how Nehru, Patel and Rajaji replied. Just a few hours earlier, the group had united for one last time at Room Number 40 of Marina Hotel, also in Connaught Place, where they stayed until 4 p.

This was the same hotel Apte and Godse had checked into a few days earlier, on 17 January, under the false names of S. Deshpande and M. Gobindram, a twenty-year-old bearer at the Marina Hotel, even reported that the people in Room Number 40 ordered one peg of whiskey the first day and two pegs the next day.

All drinks were consumed by Karkare, the sethji. On that morning, the squad met at the Hindu Mahasabha Bhawan. The jungle behind the building served as a shooting range for Gopal Godse to practise firing with his revolver.

Madanlal borrowed a screwdriver and some oil from the Hindu Mahasabha Bhawan to tinker with the revolver. Nathuram Godse was not present as he was unwell. Madanlal and Karkare took a tonga back to the hotel for the final meeting. The squad went over the plan.

In fact, many of Nathuram's friends told me after my release, ' Nathuram ni gadhav pana kela, tyani majha chance ghalavla ' Nathuram did you an injustice. He made you miss your chance to kill Gandhi. Did your family undergo any social pressure after the assassination?

Yes, very much. No one used to be ready to marry girls from my family. So we decided that the first thing we should put across to the bridegroom was that we are related to Nathuram Godse.

It is only now that people appreciate our honesty. Now they are ready for marriage into my family. If the Muslim League could influence the Muslims in , why was it that the Hindu Mahasabha could not influence Hindus? That was because I don't have any leadership quality. My talent is to write. And I have convinced my readers with my writing.

Unfortunately, the so-called secular Hindu leaders from the Congress have been ruling the masses since And they have ruled the country for another 50 years.

It is only now that Hindus have become conscious about the Congress. They have thrown the party out from Maharashtra and all over India. You cannot gauge a nation in merely five decades. It took years for the Christians to drive away Muslims from Europe. Muslims ruled right up to Spain and Portugal. I don't know how many years it will take for Hindus to rule the entire Bharat. Nathuram, Dattatreya, myself and Govind.

You can say we grew up in the RSS rather than in our home. It was like a family to us. Nathuram had become a baudhik karyavah [intellectual worker] in the RSS. Against such an attitude there can be no halfway house.

Either Congress had to surrender its will to his and had to be content with playing second fiddle to all his eccentricity, whimsicality, metaphysics and primitive vision, or it had to carry on without him. He alone was the judge of everyone and everything; he was the master brain guiding the Civil Disobedience movement; no other could know the technique of that movement. He alone knew when to begin it and when to withdraw it.

The movement might succeed or fail, but that could make no difference to the Mahatma's infallibility. As I grew up I developed a tendency to free thinking unfettered by any superstitious allegiance to any isms, political or religious. That is why I worked actively for the eradication of untouchability and the caste system based on birth alone.

I openly joined anti-caste movements and maintained that all Hindus are of equal status as to rights, social and religious, and should be considered high or low on merit alone and not through the accident of birth in a particular caste or profession. I used publicly to take part in organized anti-caste dinners which thousands of Hindus, Brahmins, Vaishyas, Kshatriyas, Chamars and Bhangis participated. We broke the caste rules and dined in the company of each other.

It was my first duty to serve the Hindudom and the Hindu people, as a patriot and even as a humanitarian. For, is it not true that to secure the freedom and to safeguard the just interests of some thirty crores of Hindus constituted the freedom and the well-being of one fifth of human race? This conviction led me naturally to devote myself to the new Hindu Sanghatanist ideology and programme which alone I came to believe, could win and preserve the national independence of Hindusthan, my Motherland and enable her to render true service to humanity as well.

Gandhiji began to hold his prayer meetings in a Hindu temple in Bhangi Colony and persisted in reading passages from Quoran as a part of the prayer in that Hindu temple in spite of the protest of the Hindu worshippers there. Of course he dared not read the Geeta in a mosque in the teeth of Muslim opposition. He knew what a terrible Muslim reaction would have been if he had done so. But he could safely trample over the feelings of the tolerant Hindu. To this belief I was determined to prove to Gandhiji that the Hindu too could be intolerant when his honour was insulted.

The fact that Gandhiji honoured the religious books of Hindus, Muslims and others or that he used to recite during his prayers verses from the Geeta, the Quoran and Bible never provoked any ill will in me towards him.
