I recently read a book "The men who killed Gandhi". It is about Godse and his friends who were plotting to kill Gandhi. When asked (in the court) as to why he was against Gandhi, Godse says that he was not against Gandhi personally (in fact he was a follower of Gandhi) but he was against the partition. When asked why he was against partition, he says that the partition cannot guarantee peace in India and the neighbour will be troubling us even after that.
I am not supporting Godse for killing Gandhi, but his argument about partition holds good till today!
