Nathuram Godse's statement that, "...the 7 conditions that Gandhi had set for breaking the fast started in January 1948 were all anti-Hindu..." We were never told exactly what these terms were when we were taught history in school.
In January 1948
In January 1948
Gandhi was trying for Hindu-Muslim unity through fasting etc. there are superficial references everywhere. So why should Godse say in his speech that all those terms were anti-Hindu?

the Muslims around it. This Khwaja Qutbuddin was supposed to take place on January 26, 1948. But there was a possibility of obstacles in doing so. Gandhi did not want this.)

My first thought was, why is protecting Muslims, anti-Hindu?
But then in 1948, why not the same thing for Hindus?Moplah Riots,Direct Action Day,Noakhali etc. saw Hindu Genocide.Violence was happening on both sides.
Didn’t the other sides have the right to protect itself?
