Nathuram Godse's photos might be on display in places of high sanctity

It began with a proposal that stunned the entire country — the idea of displaying Nathuram Godse’s photograph in Parliament House, the Supreme Court, schools, and government offices. 🇮🇳🖼️ What seemed like a simple suggestion soon turned into a wave of emotion and debate, dividing the nation like never before.

Some called it a matter of freedom of expression, arguing that history, no matter how dark, should never be hidden. 🕊️ They believed that even the painful parts of our past deserve to be remembered as lessons for future generations. Others, however, were deeply hurt and outraged, questioning how someone linked to one of India’s greatest tragedies could ever be honored beside the country’s true heroes. 💔

This proposal isn’t just about a picture — it’s about what kind of history we choose to honor. Should our public institutions showcase every part of our past, including the controversial ones, or should they stand as symbols of unity, peace, and shared national pride? ⚖️

As the debate continues, one thing is clear — this discussion goes beyond politics. It challenges India to decide whether honoring history means remembering everything, or preserving only what uplifts the soul of the nation. 🇮🇳
