may it PLEASE YOUR HONOUR - Nathuram Ghodse

• I deny categorically what the prosecution has so falsely maintained that I was giuded in my action by Veer Savarkar and that, but for his complicity, I could never have acted in the way I have done. I take the strongest exception to this untrue and unjust charge and I further regards it as an insult to my intelligence and judgement. The prosecution's attempt to make out that I was amere tool in someone else's hands is an aspersion which is far from the truth. Indeed, it is a perversion of it. 
• As regards non-violence, it was absurd to expect 40 crores of people to regulate their lives on such a lofty plane...
•  The Hindu-Muslim Unity which Gandhiji himself had put forward many a time was... that they both should take part in the stuggle for independence as comrades.
