This picture is a little harder to make out than the others because it's very old, and the people in it are moving. One you focus on it, though, you'll realize that you're looking at one of the most appalling and pivotal moments of the 20th century. This is Indian header, healer and guru Mahatma Gandhi coming face to face with his assassin Nathuram Godse on January 30th, 1948. Just seconds after this picture was taken, Godse shot Gandhi three times in the chest, killing him instantly. Gandhi was 79.
To say that Gandhi abhorred violence would be to state the obvious. He devoted himself to the creation and maintenance and peace. Godse shot him because they believed he did too much in attempting to make peace between Muslim and Hindu forces during the partition of India. We imagine Gandhi wouldn't have died for anything else.
