Shri Gopal Godse, 67, was an accused in the Gandhi Murder Case. He was found guilty of conspiracy and sentenced to transportation for life. He was released from prison in October 1964, but re arrested a month later under Defence of India Act and kept in prison for over a year. He was finally released in the end of 1965. Shri Gopal Godse is the brother of Nathu Ram Godse, who was sentenced to death for assassinating Gandhiji.
Shri Gopal Godse, after his release published the statement of Nathu Ram Godse, which had been kept under illegal ban by the Government till then. The pages foregoing the statement are written by the author, viz Shri Gopal Godse.
Shri Gopal Godse has worked for the Hindu Mahasabha. He considers it to be the only organisation for organising Hindus on political stand. He believes that secularism as practised in India by any party has proved to be detrimental to interests of the Hindus. The Hindu Parties have shifted from nationalism to communalism i.e., appeasing Muslims or Christians as it suited the parties. They have thus been following the path of encouragement or further vivisection to non-Hindu Groups in truncated India. Change of Religion is change of Nationality. It is the one time Hindus who had been converted to Islam in some generation that have created Pakistan on the Hindu Land.
Adopting Non-Hindus to Hindu fold will alone maintain National integrity based on culture and knowledge. Culture and anti-culture can never co-exist. Religious orders like breaking idols or killing idol worshipers is no culture. It is anti-culture.
Quran prescribes such orders. One time Hindus now converted to Islam are taught this anti-culture through Quran. The humanity is shattered. The Hindus who say that teachings of all the religions are equal are either ignorant or hyporacts. The author as the mission of his life urges Hindus to be very one with Mahasabha.
The author resides at Hindu Mahasabha Bhavan, Mandir Marg, New Delhi at present. He is one of the office bearers of the organisation. Others wise his residence is at 1206/BI Pune 411004
