Talk:Assassination of Mahatma Gandhi

message: If someone could kindly take his/her time to add Ambedkar's reaction to the assassination, then I will be obliged, since it would fill up a gap on the opposite side of the spectrum of views. Soham "Samrat" Banerjee (talk) 16:21, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ambedkar's view on Gandhi's Assassination 

message: A heads up: apparently, this movie still has been making the rounds on the internet. (Why now I can't figure out.)  It is not an authentic picture of the assassination.  Being from a 1963 British movie, its copyright has not expired, but I don't have the time to look into all that.   Be warned.  Fowler&fowler«Talk» 14:41, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: @Fowler&fowler Sorry for reply on the old thread. If this pic is copyrighted it should be deleted. If it is fair use or expired copyright then we should use it in the popular media section with the caption. I think it is useful, copyright permitting. Venkat TL (talk) 16:37, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Sounds good.  Even if a movie made in India in 1963 might have lost its copyright, this one likely has not as it was an American movie that was banned in India and probably still is. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 18:43, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @Fowler&fowler ok. Out of curiosity, I just saw the movie on youtube, this exact moment is not in the movie, although the movie shows a few moments after the  scene shown in the pic. So it is likely a still camera photo of an ongoing shooting, and not necessarily a screenshot (movie still). Venkat TL (talk) 19:10, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Either that or it is edited for Youtube viewing, given that there would have been protests. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 19:22, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @Fowler&fowler yes, that is possible that the youtube print I saw may be edited and not the authentic movie copy. I am not sure what protests has to do with it, but FWIW, the youtube print does have the scene of Gandhi getting shot and a few dialogues in the immediate aftermath. This particular frame was not there. Venkat TL (talk) 19:29, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I mean it is not uncommon for youtube viewers to object for various reasons, and in response, material is removed, or cautionary messages added. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 19:35, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Please note the "assassination" picture from Nine hours to Rama 

message: Regentspark, yes, the attackers identity has been restored as it is highly relevant. Chipavan Brahmins were holding all the major posts at RSS that time. Biggest reason to keep this is because RSS tried to spread the rumours of Muslim killer to start riots and civil war. So the identity is historically relevant too. Venkat TL (talk) 16:25, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok. I have no clue about caste issues and thought it likely that this was "infamy glorification" of some sort. About Muslim/Pakistan, fyi, the source clearly says Pakistan, not Muslims. --RegentsPark (comment) 17:56, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @RegentsPark I have restored "Pakistan" as you suggested. I had not checked the source. Sorry, that it got caught in the revert. Venkat TL (talk) 18:08, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

message: @Fowler&fowler: So the sources you are removing here are sound, and the verifiability is clear, so would you kindly explain your beef. The 'good faith revert' calling it "nonsense" doesn't leave on much the wiser. What's the problem? Iskandar323 (talk) 16:45, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
