Senior journalist and writer Appu Esthose Suresh starts a Gandhi-inspired platform to filter fake news and hate speeches

From communal riots to transistor blasts and crimes of passion, Delhi is no stranger to felonies but the greatest criminal offence in the national capital was committed on January 30, 1948, when Mahatma Gandhi was shot dead at a prayer meeting by Nathuram Godse.

In a newly published book — The Murderer, The Monarch and the Fakir: A New Investigation of Mahatma Gandhi’s Assassination — Washington DC-based senior journalist Appu Esthose Suresh revisited the murder that shook the nation seven decades ago. Research for the book coincided with the urban protests in America and India in recent years that were heavily influenced by Gandhian slogans and ideals. Appu saw that Gandhi’s non-violence had new challengers — fake news and hate speeches. The interconnection between social justice and the need for correct information in the ‘hashtag era’ was established as Appu witnessed the online clashes between pro- and anti-government activists and cyberwarriors.

Appu and his co-author, Priyanka Kotamraju, not only researched and wrote the book but also took the Gandhian message a step further by starting a Gandhi-inspired social media platform — Pixstory — that flags intolerance and hate speeches.
