Explanation

Gandhi launched his final fast-unto-death in Delhi on January 13, 1948, to appeal for communal harmony and the protection of Muslims during the post-partition violence. He ended the fast five days later after receiving a written pledge from leaders of various communities to maintain peace. This was his last major act of non-violent intervention before his death.
