On This Day January 30

On January 30, 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was walking through a garden to a pergola on his way onto a prayer meeting at the Birla House Gardens, New Delhi. He was shot by a Hindu nationalist fanatic, Nathuram Godse at 5.13 pm. Gandhi was carried back to his couch in Biria House, where he was given a cup of milk which he couldn't drink. His famous last words were, "He Ram!" (O God!). He died 40 minutes later.
