If Gadhi was alive ?

Perhaps more bizarre is the fact that Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was sitting with Gandhi just before Gandhi walked to his death. There have also been questions about why the Mahatma was not rushed to hospital and instead taken inside his living quarters in Birla Bhavan. Even though there was no way Gandhi’s frail body could have survived three bullets, it was odd, at the very least, that he was taken inside the house rather than to a hospital.

Like all assassinations that have taken place in post-Independence India, there has been little clarity about what Gandhi’s conspirators sought to achieve. While broad hints have been dropped now and again about how big powers hate leaders with grassroots support and independent minds, investigators have seldom gone beyond the motive of a Nathuram Godse, a Beant Singh (one of Indira Gandhi’s killers) or a Dhanu (Rajiv Gandhi’s suicide bomber).

It would be interesting to do an analysis of what would have happened if Gandhi had not been killed. Would he have lived to be 100 or 125, as he so desired? If he had lived to 100, he would have been around till 1969, till which time India had seen two wars with Pakistan and one with China. It would have also been battered by, besides, scores of riots and other miseries. The question is: would these wars have taken place if Gandhi had been around? Where would all the arms and ammunition sold by merchants of death ensconced in London and Washington have gone?
