The #Asthi is still awaiting #Visarjan in #SindhuNadi at the country #AkhandaBharath.

Below is the Nathuram Godse's statement in court.

“On January 13, 1948, I learnt that Gandhiji had decided to go on fast unto death. The reason given was that he wanted an assurance of

Entirely self-trained, this ace inventor from colonial-era Bombay shot to global fame with his revolutionary ‘Bhisotype.’ And yet he remains all but forgotten in his own country.
Born at Bombay on
29th April 1867, Shankar spent his days poring over Scientific American magazines, Bhisey showed a real aptitude for the sciences, constructing a “small apparatus at home which made coal gas” at the age of just 14, writes JB Kulkarni in a Council of Scientific & Industrial
Research (CSIR) publication.
"I owe everything to the mechanical education I received from that American magazine," he told a newspaper many decades later.
