The Crown Award funding made it possible for me to pursue my thesis research on Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s assassination and its far-reaching political and diplomatic consequences. With this support, I was able to travel within India this summer to access archives, museums, and primary materials, such as trial records, letters, and documents. The award allowed me to fully commit to this project without any financial strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I\u2019ve begun my research, I\u2019ve seen how challenging yet rewarding it is to grapple with the legacy of Gandhi\u2019s death. His philosophies were central to India\u2019s independence movement, yet they also provoked fierce opposition from Nathuram Godse. Investigating this ideological clash through historical documents has revealed how Gandhi\u2019s assassination not only shocked the nation but also reshaped India\u2019s internal politics and diplomatic standing in the early years of independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is still underway, and over the coming months I will continue organizing findings, drafting chapters, and preparing to share my work beyond the thesis itself. I plan to elaborate on my research through my blog (Selfmusing by Jiv) that will make my research accessible to wider audiences, connecting Gandhi\u2019s nonviolence, Godse\u2019s opposition, and their modern relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am deeply grateful to the Ren\u00e9e Crown Honors Program for supporting this project. This funding has given me the opportunity to engage directly with archives, analyze the political aftermath of Gandhi\u2019s assassination, and contribute to conversations that connect history with contemporary challenges in peacebuilding and international relations.<\/p>\n\n\n
