Yes, Mahatma Gandhi's name has always seen an unending parade of debates around his legacy, but does that mean people should celebrate his death and talk about the 'bravery' of the person who assassinated him? 

Apparently, the answer is yes and we don't know what to say.

On Mahatma Gandhi's 73 death anniversary, some people are actually hailing Nathuram Godse, the man who killed Bapu, as a hero and preaching about his bravery.

The father of the nation, the freedom fighter, the man who played one of the most important roles in India's independence is being disrespected and his killer is being revered. 

Are we in the upside-down from Stranger Things or what?

Safe to say, it's alarming to see #NathuramGodseAmarRahe, especially today, and the tweets in the hashtag are on another level, with users thanking “Nathu Bhai” for saving the nation.

Even PM Modi is honouring Bapu, as he should.

Tributes to the great Bapu on his Punya Tithi. His ideals continue to motivate millions.

On Martyrs’ Day we recall the heroic sacrifices of all those great women and men who devoted themselves towards India’s freedom and the well-being of every Indian.

But, his replies are a mess.

The real brave hero of our country। We salute you for your sacrifice to save Hindus 🇮🇳🇮🇳#MahatmaGandhi#नाथूराम_गोडसे_अमर_रहे #नाथूराम_गोडसे_अमर_रहे #नाथूराम_गोडसे_अमर_रहे 🤡 pic.twitter.com/BMRYcnptus

Don't even know if people are trolling at this point or they actually considering Godse their hero? Well, if it's the latter, that would explain so much of what's going on in the country right now.

Hero*

The most bizarre tweet you will ever see, what is Sushant Singh Rajput doing here?

No, I don't think we should remember him. What is up with people's morals? Do they have so much hate in their hearts that they are celebrating this?

Today is the day when whole India witnessed the bravery of this man "Nathuram Vinayak Godse" remember the name #NathuramGodse pic.twitter.com/534ZV4br8o

Yes, Actor Siddharth has the right idea.

#NathuramGodse was a coward, a terrorist, an RSS loser and a murderer. May his memory and name always make us as Indians feel deeply ashamed. Gandhiji Amar Rahe.

The country is really screwed up right now.

Gandhi Bapu was killed today. My mood#NathuramGodse You brave! pic.twitter.com/QGhHWA1ccy

Nope, wrong take.

Late #NathuramGodse was a believer of equality. He just couldn't tolerate the unfairness Hindus went through in their own Nation.

That's the tweet. pic.twitter.com/y1rykpMKLc

I really want to believe these are all paid trolls but that's just wishful thinking.

Hypothetically, if a lot of people wanted a certain Indian leader dead, would you celebrate the person who might actually assassinate him?

#NathuramGodse was one of
the most amazingg people, innocent one who got punished for doing something everybody at that time wanted to happen.

Lastly, a challenge.

On the occassion of Death Anniversary of #MahatmaGandhi, Sanghis are showering praise for his assassin #NathuramGodse .

Does @narendramodi have guts to call Godse a Terrorist??
