The Gandhi Murder

This is a movie based on real events that shaped India as a secular, democratic country, and paved the way for the world's largest democracy, as it struggled and survived through its formative days immediately after independence from the British Empire. The movie draws an interesting parallel between India during the life and assassination of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, and the U.S. during the life and assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and how their eventual assassinations, though tragic events in themselves, virtually turned the two countries around to be successful secular democracies, from the separatist and civil war path on which both were trudging.
