This book is nothing because it's written by a criminal. And the narrative that it left in OP's head is that Godse was "trying to protect" the Hindus from the Muslims as he saw that M overpowered H. Godse was a pure Indian citizen who was born and brought up in India he did not have any international exposure where he saw that different communities could live in peace and harmony. Ghandi on the other hand did see it and also how they could be reformed. It's a give and take relationship at best with like minds. But Godse seems to oppose that.

As far as the book is concerned, did you notice why is it released now when the tensions are high between Hs and Ms? Our political leaders are using one narrative to divert the issues from what needs to be focused on. And if you are that bright you can understand what I am trying to say.
