Dive deep into Ashis Nandy's seminal essay, "The Politics of the Assassination of Gandhi," From his book The Edge of Psychology (1980), as we explore its groundbreaking insights into the ideological, cultural, political, and psychological implications of one of the most significant events in Indian history. In this episode, we discuss Nandy's interpretation of Gandhi's assassination as a clash of worldviews—modernity versus tradition, power versus ethics—and its lasting impact on Indian society. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that uncovers the layers of meaning behind this pivotal moment and its relevance to contemporary India. Is Gandhiji incomplete without Godse, and vice versa? Did Gandhi choose martyrdom over life, and did Godse choose being Dharmic over being a Gandhian? This special episode grapples with these and other such deeply dense questions.
