This Day in History: Gandhi Is Assassinated

This Day in History:, Gandhi Is Assassinated.

January 30, 1948.

The political and spiritual leader of the Indian independence movement was assassinated in New Delhi by a Hindu fanatic.

Known as Mahatma, or ā€œthe great soul,ā€ Gandhi’s methods of civil disobedience influenced leaders of civil rights movements around the world.

He organized his first campaign of satyagraha, or mass civil disobedience, in 1906 while working as a lawyer in South Africa.

Five years after returning to India, Gandhi launched a new satyagraha in 1919 in protest of Britain’s mandatory military draft of Indians.

For the next two decades, he led fasts, marches, worked for India's poor and was often imprisoned.

In 1942, Gandhi launched the ā€œQuit Indiaā€ movement, which called for a total British withdrawal from India.

On August 15, 1947, Britain agreed to create the two new independent states of India and Pakistan.

When he was killed, Gandhi was on a vigil to heal the religious strife between Hindus and Muslims in his country

DALAI LAMA SHOCKS CHINA: ā€˜I May Live Beyond 130!’ | Dalai Lama Drops BOMB on Succession Row

s the 14th Dalai Lama celebrates his 90th birthday, the long-simmering issue of his succession has erupted, placing India and China in a diplomatic standoff. Speaking to followers during long-life prayers in McLeod Ganj, the Tibetan spiritual leader expressed his hope to live beyond 130 years to continue serving humanity. However, the focus has sharply shifted to the political and spiritual battle over who will be his successor. The Dalai Lama has unequivocally stated that his next incarnation will be born in a "free country," a clear rejection of any successor chosen or approved by the Chinese government. This declaration reignites a major point of contention for Beijing, which insists the process must adhere to "Chinese laws and historical practice." This has prompted a stern warning from China's Foreign Ministry, cautioning India to avoid "interference" in Tibet-related matters that could damage fragile bilateral ties between the two Asian giants. India, which granted asylum to the Dalai Lama in 1959 after he fled a failed uprising in Tibet, has maintained a consistent position. New Delhi has stressed that the matter of succession is a religious one and that only the Dalai Lama and his trust have the right to decide. This stance has not appeased Beijing. The situation leaves the Tibetan community in a precarious position, with widespread fears that China will attempt to install a "fake" Dalai Lama to legitimize and tighten its authoritarian control over Tibet. The Dalai Lama's firm stance, India's diplomatic tightrope walk, and China's assertive warnings have set the stage for a major geopolitical flashpoint. #DalaiLama #IndiaChinaRelations #Tibet #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #Dharamshala #Geopolitics #China #LatestNews #WorldNews Also Read Dalai Lama’s 90th Birthday Message: Altruism, Wisdom, And Hope For The Future :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/dalai-lama-s-90th-birthday-message-altruism-wisdom-and-hope-for-the-future-7792751.html?ref=DMDesc India and the Dalai Lama: A Bond Rooted In Tradition, Tested by Geopolitics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-and-the-dalai-lama-a-bond-rooted-in-tradition-tested-by-geopolitics-7790117.html?ref=DMDesc The Battle for a Soul: Dalai Lama’s Rebirth Sparks Fresh Tensions with China; Beijing Reacts By Saying... :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/the-battle-for-a-soul-dalai-lama-s-rebirth-sparks-fresh-tensions-with-china-beijing-reacts-by-sayi-7789273.html?ref=DMDesc

BREAKING: Trump REACTS to Senate Passing His ā€˜Big Beautiful Bill’ | VP Vance Casts Tiebreaker Vote

While in Florida, former President Trump celebrated Senate passage of his ā€œOne Big, Beautiful Billā€ after Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote. The bill passed following intense GOP negotiations and resistance from Senator Lisa Murkowski over Medicaid and food stamp cuts. Key language to protect Alaska was struck down under the Byrd Rule. Meanwhile, Elon Musk — once Trump’s staunchest supporter — has publicly opposed the bill, warning he may form a new party in response to its impact on vulnerable Americans and economic direction. #Trump #ElonMusk #BigBeautifulBill #JDVance #SenateVote #PoliticalShowdown #GOP #LisaMurkowski #MedicaidCuts #FoodStamps #ByrdRule #Congress2025 #TrumpBill #BreakingNews #PoliticalDrama #USPolitics #TrumpInFlorida #MuskSplit #NewPartyThreat #MuskVsTrump #HealthcareCuts #GOPSenate #CapitolHill #SenateTiebreaker #OneBigBeautifulBill #RapidResponse #PolicyFight #PartyTensions #AmericaFirst #TrumpLegislation #ConservativePolitics Also Read 'Close Up Shop And Move Back To South Africa': US President Donald Trump's Deportation Warning To Elon Musk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/close-up-shop-and-move-back-to-south-africa-us-president-donald-trumps-deportation-warning-to-el-7788061.html?ref=DMDesc Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

BREAKING: Trump Visits ā€˜Alligator Alcatraz’ | Inside Florida's Detention Center Circled By Predators

President Trump will attend the opening of a controversial migrant detention center deep in the Florida Everglades, nicknamed ā€œAlligator Alcatrazā€ for its remote, wildlife-infested location. Built rapidly using Governor DeSantis' emergency powers, the facility can hold up to 5,000 migrants and is located on the grounds of a long-abandoned 1960s jetport. Despite recent political friction, Trump and DeSantis will appear together at the launch. Critics are alarmed over the harsh conditions and secrecy surrounding the project, which has already sparked a wave of protests and national debate. #Trump #DeSantis #AlligatorAlcatraz #MigrantCenter #FloridaPolitics #ImmigrationPolicy #FEMA #Everglades #DetentionCenter #BorderCrisis #SwampFacility #JetportHistory #DadeCollier #MigrantRights #USImmigration #ControversialFacility #PoliticalReunion #FloridaNews #RemotePrison #Protests Also Read 'Close Up Shop And Move Back To South Africa': US President Donald Trump's Deportation Warning To Elon Musk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/close-up-shop-and-move-back-to-south-africa-us-president-donald-trumps-deportation-warning-to-el-7788061.html?ref=DMDesc Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~GR.125~HT.96~

Bernie Sanders RIPS Trump’s ā€˜Big Beautiful Bill’ As Billionaire Payoff | 16M Thrown Off Healthcare? [Video]

Bernie Sanders RIPS Trump’s ā€˜Big Beautiful Bill’ As Billionaire Payoff | 16M Thrown Off Healthcare?

Sen. Bernie Sanders strongly opposes President Trump’s so-called ā€œBig, Beautiful Bill,ā€ calling it the most dangerous legislation in modern U.S. history. Sanders claims the bill is a billionaire-funded payoff that gives $975 billion in tax breaks to the top 1%, while slashing $1.1 trillion from healthcare programs like Medicaid and ACA—potentially leaving 16 million uninsured. With studies predicting 50,000 avoidable deaths per year, Sanders calls the bill a "death sentence" for working-class Americans and a devastating blow to rural hospitals already on the brink. #BernieSanders #TrumpBill #BillionaireBill #MedicaidCuts #AffordableCareAct #HealthcareCrisis #SenateFloor #TaxBreaks #TrumpTaxPlan #BillionaireClass #WorkingClass #RuralHospitals #HealthcareForAll #SandersSpeech #TrumpVsSanders #MedicareCuts #HealthcareJustice #TrumpAgenda #PoliticalCorruption #BigPharma #CampaignFinance #UnfairEconomy #TaxPolicy #GOPBill #CBOReport #PublicHealth #HealthcareInequality #TrumpHealthcarePlan #SandersFightsBack #TrumpDeathBill #HealthJusticeNow Also Read 'Close Up Shop And Move Back To South Africa': US President Donald Trump's Deportation Warning To Elon Musk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/close-up-shop-and-move-back-to-south-africa-us-president-donald-trumps-deportation-warning-to-el-7788061.html?ref=DMDesc Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc

South China Sea Breaking: Taiwan Deploys HIMARS Unit To Target Deep Into China | Xi Vows Retaliation [Video]

South China Sea Breaking: Taiwan Deploys HIMARS Unit To Target Deep Into China | Xi Vows Retaliation

South China Sea Breaking: In a significant escalation of defensive capabilities, Taiwan has officially formed its first combat-ready HIMARS rocket unit. This move is designed to strengthen deterrence against increasing threats and military pressure from China. Taiwan's Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, lauded the new unit as a "significant boost" to the island's defensive power, underscoring the strategic importance of this deployment. The soldiers operating these advanced systems have completed specialized training in the United States, highlighting the close military cooperation between Washington and Taipei. The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a game-changer for Taiwan's military. It can fire six 227mm rockets or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile, the latter boasting a range of up to 300 kilometers. This impressive range means that key military and strategic targets deep within mainland China's coastal provinces are now potentially within Taiwan's strike capability. Reports suggest that Taiwan may have already acquired these long-range ATACMS missiles, a detail that is sure to alarm military planners in Beijing. This deployment is part of a larger arms deal with the U.S., with 11 of a total 29 HIMARS systems already delivered. The move aligns with America's broader strategy to build a strong coalition in the Indo-Pacific to counter China's growing military and economic dominance. While the HIMARS system has proven its devastating effectiveness in the Ukraine conflict, analysts note that China's more advanced air defense systems could pose a greater challenge. The activation of this unit comes as Chinese military aircraft and vessels continue to cross the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, prompting regular intrusion warnings from Taipei and keeping the region on high alert. #Taiwan #China #HIMARS #USChinaRelations #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #OneindiaNews #IndoPacific #ATACMS Also Read Pakistan at China’s Command: Proxy War on India, Debt Trap at Home—Sri Lanka 2.0 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-at-china-s-command-proxy-war-on-india-debt-trap-at-home-sri-lanka-2-0-7791359.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc China Halts Exports Of Specialty Fertilisers To India Amid Rising Tensions, Raising Supply Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/china-halts-exports-of-specialty-fertilisers-to-india-amid-rising-tensions-raising-supply-concerns-7783941.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~
