Didn't he utter........


Last night I was watching a programme on Vijay TV. The programme was about the last days of Mahatma's life. Mr.V.Kalyanaraman, personal secretarty to Mahatma Gandhi, was recalling the incidents surrounding the Mahatma's assasination. He said a group of hardcore hindus detested the way the mahatma was pampering Muslims after the partition. Mahatma insisted the then Indian Government to pay Rs.50 crores to the state of Pakistan.(Ironically, Pakistan is yet to pay its pre-partition debts to India Rs.300 crores to in 50 equated instalments with 3% interest).

It was widely believed that Mahama's last word was hey ram. But Mr. kalyanaraman refuted the theory. He was standing back when Mahatma's was shot by Naturam Ghodse.H e said" Gandhiji didn't utter anything as the bullets pierced his body".

It seems wherever the word RAM appears it generates a public controversy. HEY RAM!
