WHY I KILLED GANDHI-Nathuram Godse’s Final Address to the Court

After having fully considered the question, I took the final decision in the matter, but I did not speak about it to anyone whatsoever. I took courage in both my hands and I did fire the shots at Gandhiji on 30th January 1948, on the prayer-grounds of Birla House. I do say that my shots were fired at the person whose policy and action had brought rack and ruin and destruction to millions of Hindus. There was no legal machinery by which such an offender could be brought to book and for this reason I fired those fatal shots.
-Nathuram Vinayak Godse

Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007

Getting old has become a major social challenge due to waning of the joint family system in the Indian families. Families are shrinking, now we have micro families.  Abandoning elderly people are rampant in our society, children now see that their old parents are headache and nuisance for their comfortable lives.A large number of elderly persons, especially widowed women are not being looked after by the members of  their family. They are forced to spend their twilight years all alone and are exposed to emotional neglect. They are being denied food, medical and financial support by their children and relatives. To combat this social challenge there is a need to give more attention to the care and protection for the older persons.
