• **The Fast Over Pakistan's Funds: **

A major immediate trigger for Godse was Gandhi's January 1948 hunger strike. 

One of Gandhi's demands was that the newly formed Indian government release ₹55 crore (**Today ₹7,500 crore**) in cash Assets to Pakistan, which India had withheld due to the outbreak of war in Kashmir. 

Godse viewed this as a betrayal of India's national security.

**"India and Pakistan were fighting their first war over Kashmir in late 1947 and early 1948"

At the exact same time, Gandhi went on a hunger strike, demanding that India immediately hand over ₹55 crore to Pakistan.

Irony Committed Suicide After This.**
