What Mahatma Gandhi did to save Bhagat Singh
By Chandan Pal Singh
Gandhi's failure to secure commutation of Bhagat Singh's execution has provided his critics a convenient weapon to attack him. He has been accused of making half-hearted effort and even deception - for the alleged discrepancy between his actual role and his public statements. This paper attempts to establish that while following a consistent approach towards revolutionary violence, Gandhi tried his best to save the lives of Bhagat Singh and his collegues till the last moment. The paper also discusses Gandhi's strategy to focus on suspension rather than commutation of the death sentence.
