Godse and his accomplice Narayan Apte were tried and sentenced to death. His execution was carried out on November 15, 1949. However, the one who is considered as the instigator of the murder, the president of the Hahasabha party, Vinaiak Dámodar Savarkar, was freed without charge for lack of evidence.
A test of Gandhi's struggle and his search for God is in his last words before dying exclaimed: "Hey, Rama!".

Decades later, however, the Committee administering the Nobel Prize declared the injustice of such an omission, which he attributed to the divided nationalist sentiments that they denied such a prize to Gandhi. The Government of India awards a prize to what they call the Mahatma Gandhi Peace Prize. One of those who received the award is the South African leader Nelson Mandela. In India, every October 2 is celebrated the day of Gandhi Yaianti. On January 30, the School Day of Nonviolence and Peace (DENVP) is celebrated in memory of Gandhi. In countries with their own school calendar in the southern hemisphere, this day is commemorated on March 30. In Montevideo, an important coastal avenue is named after Rambla Mahatma Gandhi.
