Gandhi is the reason for kashmir conflict ?
by mmspm on Feb 07, 2008 05:28 PM

pals i read this in wikipedia. how many agree that Gandhi is the main reason for Kashmir conflict ?

"The immediate motive for the assassination is usually ascribed to Gandhi's decision to fast to the death unless the Indian central government allowed the transfer of 55 crore (550 million) rupees to the government of Pakistan. The transfer had been specified in the partition agreement, but the Indian government had refused to complete it, complaining of continued Pakistani rebel occupation of disputed parts of Kashmir.

The Indian government immediately reversed its decision to withhold the funds, which infuriated Godse and his fellow Hindu radicals."
