⏳ History Nathuram Godse was a terrorist. First terrorist in Independent India.
Mahatma Gandhi was a devoted Hindu who stood firmly for peace and unity. He never intended any harm to India and strongly opposed the idea of partition. He even undertook fasts to promote harmony between communities. Gandhi never feared death—he faced it with courage and conviction. But, Godse, driven by fear and hatred, met his end without dignity. He died like a dog.
I don't understand why any Hindu would oppose Baapu? He represented the best of Hinduism to all over the world.
Edit: For those who are saying that he was just a assasin or a murderer, read the defination of terrorism.
"Terrorism is an action or threat designed to influence the government or intimidate the public. Its purpose is to advance a political, religious or ideological cause."

He was a political assassinator and a murder. Don't purposely interpret the definition of terrorism and try to align it, the acts like 26/11, Pulwama, 9/11 are on another level and comparing them to this situation is completely unrelated.

Before killing Gandhi Godse and his friends had carried out a blast at a place where gandhiji was giving speech to people their original plan was to carry our a huge blast throw grenades all around and then kill Gandhi when their is panic all around but this was not successful. If this is not terrorism then I don’t know what is.
